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.

Questions about egg fertility???
I have recently had the good fortune of receiving my first clutch of eggs ever, from breeding a SHTCT baldy to a tang albino giant.(YAY!) The eggs have been incubating at 83 degrees for one week now. I candled both not long ago, and one is pink with a red "oval" in the middle and distinct little veins around it. The other is a pale yellow color all the way through. My question is, how long before you can decide for sure that an egg is infertile? Should I incubate it for 60 days just in case, or is there a point where you know nothing will develope and it is best to get rid of it? Also, because of the fact the my female only laid one fertile egg, is it more likely that this will happen again with her other clutches? Does she need to mate again to give herself more sperm to store? What do all you guys and gals think? Thanks for your advice. Me, and my Leos, appreciate it!
P.S. The one in the middle is the proud mother!

Hmmm...
Sounds to me like one egg is fertile and the other one is not. Usually when you see the

That means it is fertile! Congrats! The other one sounds like a dud. Is this the female's first time breeding?

When in doubt, incubate them anyway! (You might just be surprised...)

I agree just incubate it anyway. Better to be safe than sorry.

No this is not the females first time breeding. She's a little over 2 years old, and I bought her as a proven breeder. This is her first clutch with me though. I'm so excited. I have two other visibly gravid females, and my mother to be, "Pickle," is starting to show signs of being gravid again. I can't wait to get my first hatchling. Only 50ish more days to go!
