Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Please help with black hole!!!
my girlfriend recently successfully bred a black hole from her geckos and all has been well until now. His last shed was roughly two weeks ago and she failed to pay attention to whether or not he got all of the shed off. He now has both front hands/toes and one back foot with old shed healed over and is currently entering another shed cycle. The skin under the shed looks dark like it is dying and when he is not walking around he holds his arms up like having them touch the floor is painful to him. Please if anyone has advise on how to help this little guy we could sure use it. His tank is currently around 80 degrees with soft, moist paper towels as his floor.

get that gecko soaking asap. it should work after the first soak . luke warm water in a sealed container for 15-20 minutes. after she soaks the old shed should become soft and you probably need to help her get it of by carefully taring the old shed and pealing it off. and sounds like an environmental change needs to be made. does she have a moist hide that she uses. it can be as simple as a recycled sour cream container with a small hole cut in the side or top as long as she can get into it easily keep that filled with moist paper towels coco fiber moss or vermiculite. and raise the temperature on the hot end to at least 90 degrees F even up to the mid ninties is fine.

Thank you all put it in a moist hide with under tank heater and heat lamp placed appropriately. Temp is up and it is staying in the moist hide on its own which is good. I agree the environment was left too dry and changes have been made.... I will continue to give updates on her and appreciate your help. Didn't realize I was in the wrong forum just got a new phone and I'm using the tapatalk app... Having a hard time navigating around the app. Couldn't find any forum at the time but this one
