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.

I agree! What kind of checking did you do in regard to your husbandry? I really ask, because I purchased a frilled dragon, not from this particular breeder, but from another. He was perfect and healthy, at the place I purchased him from. I got him home, had a similar set up and my husbandry was perfect. My dragon still got sick! It was the compact fluorescent UVB bulb that was making him sick. Something that I would never have suspected on my own. It took someone else that had a similar problem to figure it out.
Just a thought!

BansheeRacer25: that was one of my main concerns. Is everything set up properly. According to what every one had told me including Ray himself he said that yes everything sounded perfect for a healthy animal. But after taking him to a few reptile places they said that the animal was sick from the get go. That in no way or form would he have gotten into that state in just a few days from bad husbandry.
And unfortunately sometimes " some people just get a bad lizard" all the signs were there that i had neglected that the animal was sick and i ignored them all. skinny tail, lethargic.. and i figured well maybe hes just stressed out from the show. well i was wrong and he was indeed not a healthy animal.
MedusaCoils: thats veryyyy interesting i would have never thought myself that the UVB would hurt the animal. But the white throat requires both A and B. so in this case i dont think thats what the problem was.

I agree you can sometimes get a monitor that is too far gone to recover. But you also said you took the "nicest" monitor at their stand. By "nicest" do you mean most calm or best looking? If you took the most calm that is a bad sign. A healthy monitor will tail whip, huff and puff at you. Also if you have any pics of your setup that would be good.
Cheers,
Bill

Hon, he didn't mean that the frill didn't need uva and uvb. He meant that COIL type UVB bulbs, that particular UVB BULB, has been known to cause health problems in reptiles and birds, including photo-kerato-conjunctivitis and wasting syndrome.

I have to agree with Bill ... when chosing a Monitor (IMO), the most calm and "friendly" could also translate to chosing the one that is sick; lethargy and indifference being symptomatic of underlying health problems.
Was this Monitor represented as CB or WC? Did you ask?

If the tail is skinny, keep walking
Sorry to hear about your animal. I worked with imports a lot about 15 years ago and if the reptile had gotten to the point that it was using the stored fat in it's tail to stay alive it was going to need a lot of work to pull back to health. I see it all the time at shows. Reptiles can go sometime without enough care, that's how they last the long shipments.
Just want to say no matter how nice it looks if the tail is skinny, keep walking unless you are ready to put in extra care and possible vet treatments.

This was exactly what I was talking about. I am sorry I wasn't more specific, when I posted. I have a link regarding this. It's a bit old, but the info is still very useful.
Here is the link;

I'm not saying that this is the problem for sure, but just in case you may want to look at it, just in case.
