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.

Blizzards turning dark?
Heyo, new here...
At a pet store I used to work at, we got in some baby blizzard leopard geckos. They were so pretty I was sure they'd be bought quickly. (I debated getting them myself, but I don't have the money!)
However... months later, they're STILL there, and they've gone from pale pastel to brown. =( Is this normal?

As long as they're not losing weight etc, it's normal.

Blizzards are like "mood" geckos, mine go from a frosty, purplue white, to a grey white, to a dark bruise color.... all in one day!

Oh, they're fat and healthy. Their tank is unfortunately a bit overcrowded. =(
So would dark mean the same thing as it would in like a bearded dragon- that they're stressed or otherwise upset?

Blizzards do tend to change color with moods. Some are pale when relaxed and darken up when excited. Some are dark (mine) and lighten up when they're excited. Dark does not mean stressed.
