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.

just stopped eating
I need some help I have a lone male that just stopped eating and I can't figure why he was doing great and all of a sudden just stopped. he is in a 10 gallon tank on sand he has hides and I feed mealworms and crickets but all he want to do is stay in his humid chamber and just lay there he has a warm side if between 79 to 82 degrees and his cool side is 73 to 75. I have not noticed him going to the bathroom lately do you think he could be impacted and if so what should I do any help would be great.
Thanks
Brian

Brian, the first thing you need to do is raise the temps on the warm side to 90 degrees at ground level. Then I would suggest that you remove the sand and replace it with paper towels. If he is impacted, you can try some warm soaks. Fill a container with enough warm water to cover his belly. Let him soak for about 15 minutes. You can do this 2 times a day until he has a bowel movement.
I really think that he just may be too cold currently though. Bring the temps up and remove the sand just to be safe.

Jeremy is right on about both. Leos use belly heat to digest their food so raising his temperatures to around 90 will probably help out a lot. Good luck with him.
