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.

NATURE ZONE appetite pluss??? any reviews?
im thnking about giving this stuff a shot, usually i would say its a bunch of useless crap to just sell to ppl who will buy anything. but in my case i have a juvi bearded who is now being extremely stubbern with his eating....nothings changed in his cage at all and he went from eating like a champ every day to only a little here and there his body weight hasnt dropped at all but he was growing like a weed and now just wont eat much for whatever reason i dont know....hes in a melamine cage hot sides avg is 100 cool side around 80 he has his hide log/perches a reptisun 10.0 as well...all bases seem covered but he just is being stubbern....i tried dubias which he used to go nuts over, crickets, supers, collards, mustards...everything hes slowed down on drinking a bit too so i try and give him gatorade at least once a week....so the question is, has anyone had success with the appetite pluss at all? any info would be appreciated. thanks

I had a similar problem, I have a thread on here about my baby's eating problems. I nvr tried that stuff. I was told to use watered down baby food (like turkey) and clacium and use a syrinch to but it in his mouth but my dragon didnt eat for weeks and became extremely thin. Sorry if i missed it, but how long since he has eaten? I dont know if trying tht right away will help your dragon.

Ok, so he sounds like he is on the longer side for his age, is it possible hes a little older then that?
Is he useing his heat spot much or staying on the cool side/in his hide, this time of year he could be cooling himself, normally if a dragon stops eating or slows eating but dosnt lose weight it tends to be them cooling, keeping an eye on his weight it is important because if he starts loseing weight it could be a problem, maybe parasites, or stress, but parasites are a big one for appetite loss normally though there would be weight loss and eventually he would pretty much not eat at all and start to go down hill.
Dose he have any stress bars under his tummy? do any of his bones show more, and dose he have nice fat pads on his tail base, eyes sunken in on the top or normal, a picture would be of great help. of him and his cage.

he has a very long tail for his age imo...hm he still seems to bask a good bit to me, as far as stress marks go some days there slightly there some days there not there at all...i have been weighing him every 2-3 days or so and hes solid...its possible he might be a bit older but not by much...his body seems right for his age hes just got a long tail....
