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.

UVB Meters
I've just begun researching UVB meters and so far it appears the best option is a $250 one designed for this hobby. Yet there are a lot of bargain meters out there that may or may not work. What meters do you use and are we stuck with a $250 investment at this point? I realize money should not be the priority when it comes to animal welfare and that one gets what they pay for in quality and function. But with the speed of technology and how that often relates to lower costs I'm hoping some new meters are on the market that can help a guy save a buck.

It seems the short uninvolved answer is the cheaper meters read in milliwatts and the expensive ones read in microwatts. Since UVB bulbs transmit in the microwatt range the bargain meters are useless for measuring them. If I find an affordable microwatt meter I'll update this.
