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.

inconsistent clutches...
I'm curious...why do some females lay clutches like clock work and others seem to be extremely sporadic...varying as much as two weeks compared to their previous clutches?
And, have any of ya'll had females that change from year to year? I have a few girls that laid clutches like clockwork last year, but this year they are all over the charts...and visa versa...
thanks for any input

I know what you mean. I had a female lay two clutches exactly 2 weeks apart and then she went on strike for about a month. She laid more this morning. I think it has to do with diet and/or calcium. If they have enough calcium or nutrients to "brew" another batch then they will...if they feel they need a break after laying two clutches close together they'll take a break. This is just a guess so don't quote me on this. I think I've heard something about this before but I can't remember all that was said. Someone else could probably help you out more.

Thanks Katie...I would think you're right. I also wonder if temperature has much to do with it? The temperature in my gecko room fluctuate somewhat and it seems like they either go on strike or all lay the same night! Could just be a coincidence

Ive noticed that some of my first timers are laying like clockwork while others are going haywire laying at 18 days then 27 then 14. I did change their dust from mineral O to herptivite a couple of weeks ago so I wonder if that will make a difference.
And the ones that eat more pinks seem to lay more consistent too.
