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.

Help with leopard gecko
Hello, recently (about a month and a half ago) I transferred my 8 year old leopard gecko from a 10 gallon cage to a 40 gallon one. She appears to love it compared to her last cage as she has multiple different hides cold and hot to choose from, however feeding is a different story. The first time i fed her, she was on eco earth so i immediately pulled her off as i saw her swallowing some ( she got 6-8 crickets). Next week i fed her on newspaper and she got 2-3. the week after that she ate a giant tomato hornworm no problem. a few days she ate 2-3 crickets and a day or two after that she ate 2-3 more. Now its been a week and this feeding she only ate 2. She has been losing alot of weight and not eating as much as she did before the 40 gallon tank since she dosent exactly have the best strike-rate/ eyesight and the crickets can get away really fast. im considering switching her to dubia roaches as theyre healthy and cant run away as fast. Im greatly worried for my pet, any suggestions are welcomed

Hi Grod. What about her health condition now? It could be bad if her tail gets very thin. Maybe try to use some worms have soft outside ( guess Dubia's exoskeleton is too hard to digest) and mix some BAC with worms. If it still can't work, try to squeeze the worms in order to let gecko taste the flesh. Also I think u need to notice is she has digestive problems. Good luck.

Have you considered returning her to the 10g? Maybe too much space is stressing her out. I've not heard about it in Leos, but it definitely happens with some other species. You should also consider the possibility of an unrelated parasitic infection. Having a fecal test done would rule this out.

Update: Shes now doing fine, i think the problem was lying in thr fact something was wrong with her nutrition because as soon as i dropped back the feeding a bit her entire attitude changed
