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.

IS THIS NORMAL:(
I think know there is something wrong with my adult crested gecko (male) but i have no clue what it could be, it's definitely not lack of calcium. I wentto take him out the other day and he went psycho, darted out from his hide and ran around like a maniac, trying to go through the glass and jumping with out any sense of direction or anything to land on. he was always a little "sketched out" but NEVER has he beeen like this. I collected a fairly fresh fecal sample in a zip lock and froze it. his pee is normally white but it has some dark yellow in it now. he's eating fine, although maybe i overfeed...hhmmm......i'm so afraid of MBD, i dust medium size crickets about every two days (6-7 crickets) with calcium powder mixed with a sprinkle of CGD, and on the off days i feed a tsp of sugar free, citrus-free baby food. I do a real good all around mist once a day or so. I havn't added anything different (or harmful) to his enclosure, so does anyone have any thoughts? oh, and i keep a shallow water dish for him and do see him drinking from it. I'm terrified that he's going to drop his tail (i know that wouldn't be the end of the world...) for no apparent reason, or that he will break/fracture something. PLEASE, IFANYONE HAS ANY SUGGESTIONS or knows if this could be a "male in heat" thing, any input is better than none! thanks!

Has ANYONE ever experienced anything like this with their own gecko? i've now noticed that he flattens himself on the bottom of his enclosure and moves very very slowly towards things (like a cat would do b 4 pouncing) it also seems like he just.....forgets that he's up somewhere and that he needs to hold on, and just drops. not like a slip. i am very concerned that it may be neurological......he pushes and drags his face/ head accross the glass and the styrofoam wall in the back of his enclosure (not all the time, but i have noticed now on a couple of occasions recently) i know that no one can say for sure but does this seem like it could in fact be neurological? maybe i'm over-analyzing what is simply a gecko with "speratic bursts of crazy energy". please share your thoughts, anyone
