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.

Abronia Graminea hurt hand
I just received a pair of abronia Graminea from Underground reptiles. The male of the pair has what seems to be stuck shed on his wrist. It looks like he has grown around the shed. It looks like he could be close to losing his hand. If he does lose his hand, will he be okay? His hand is so swollen that I can't see if it really is stuck shed, and if it is I can't get to it to try to get it off.

Can you please post photos? Reptiles are generally pretty resilient against limb loss, but it's unfortunate you received an injured animal. Have you notified Underground Reptiles of the issue?
If it is stuck shed, soak the animal in luke warm water, then try to locate the constriction once the skin becomes more supple. You can carefully cut away the constriction with small scissors. But a photo would definitely be helpful.

I've sent an email to them, they say he was probably hurt during travel. But I've seen similar things on leopard geckos when they have issues shedding. It also looks like he has lost the tips of some toes. But I know I'm no expert, and these are the first A. Graminea I've had. So any opinions and tips would be welcome. Thank you

Sorry I'm late to the party, an Abronia without a hand is like a bird with one wing, they are so avid climbers and will suffer from the loss of a hand, I would try soaking, the looking for any peeling, if it peels then peel it all off and then massage the wrist, from what I'm seeing there is a lack of blood flow to the upper wrist, the massage with help return that, although this can be a scary process, so I insist that you seek veterinary help. An exotic vet might not know a lot about Abronia's, but the wrist speaks for itself. Good luck
