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.

??? housing hatchling geckos???
I am expecting some baby geckos soon and I was wondering the best and most cost efficient way to house baby geckos? I really don't want to buy a custum cage, I would prefer to build my own. I want them to have sufficent room and proper heating. I am very excited about this and I would love as much input as possible. I guess I am just looking for any ideas that would work. Thank you.
I also would like to know how to use heat tape properly and what material I can use it with; such as pvc, wood etc? Thank you again.

Leos are pretty easy IMO. I would build a rack out of melamine, and heat tape. just keep in mind melamine is NOT fire proof, but fire resistant. You can build a pretty simple, and small rack if your keeping them for a short period of time. If your keeping them to breed i would plan on building a properly sized rack. Just look on Forums and stuff im sure theres actual plans of racks. Read read read its the best thing to do. Good luck with your new little ones.

ROFL, maybe fire resistant, but I built a couple racks out of melamine (expanded pvc is ex pen sive) I used the scraps to heat the house (in a wood stove). That crap burns hotter than just about anything I've ever
stuck in there. HOT.

Oh, yeah, no kidding, I was just trying to help explain with what energy melamine does burn with when it does. A LOT.
