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.

Sulawesi Water Skink Care
Hello, some months back I purchased a pair of Sulawesi Water Skinks (Tropidophorus bacconi) as I wanted a smaller semi-aquatic lizard and these little guys fit the bill and look just like tiny alligators. I did as much research as I could find on these guys and pretty much the general consensus was "like orange eye crocodile skinks" but not much else in terms of details. If anybody has any additional information or a care guide on these reptiles please let me know! I've got them currently in a 20 gallon paludarium but am upgrading to a 40 within a week. I'd love for them to breed (I believe they are a pair as one is significantly smaller and has more cream coloration under the chin) and want to mimic their habitat as closely as possible. Right now they have 1/3rd land and 2/3rd water with small fish, snails and grass shrimp.

Greetings Spencer:
Not quite like Tribolonotus, these guys like more water. Even a 20 gal paludarium is fine, do you have a pic of the new set up? With a shallow water section, a small submersible filter should be adequate.
2) Varied diet, they should learn to accept food from your hands 9but go easy on the waxworms!);
3) I think cherry barbs or rasboras are a good mix (and from the same continent) I wonder if they might eat a grass shrimp that gets close to the surface!
Please send a pic of your set up!
Peace,
G
