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.

Feeling like a bad gecko mom!
I feel so bad right now! I was feeding my guys and I noticed the tip of Amber's tail looked a little funny, so I took her out for a closer look. Turns out she has some restricted shed left on the tip - about 1/8". I'm currently soaking her right now in an attempt to get it off. It looks like it's starting to turn necrotic, and I feel horrible! Most of it is still pink, so I hope if I can get that shed off, she'll be ok.

Well, I soaked her for a good long time, and attempted to get the shed off. The problem is, it's such a small area, that I'm not really sure if it's off or not! I THINK I saw it come off. Time will tell.
She was SUCH a good girl through this. She didn't get upset at any point in time...sat in the bowl of water like it was her personal hot tub. LOL When I was messing her tail, she would just move it every now and then like "HEY - quit it, will ya?".

"After" pictures for the curious. I feel a little silly now, but I'm still upset that it happened. I do think I got it off, as the area has lost the deeper pink it had before the soak. You can still see the area that went necrotic.
