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.

Grrrrr!!! This REALLY bothers me...
I received an email with a request for a link exchange with for a website that is supposed to specialize in teaching the proper care of animals. They took the liberty of putting a link to my website on theirs, but when I checked out the link to their site, this is what I saw: LINK TO THEIR SITE
Do you see anything wrong with the gecko in the photo?
Needless to say, I refused to link back for obvious reasons, but did offer to provide them with a photo of a healthy leo, and any other care information.

Mbd?
Is that MBD? I have to say I have never seen it in a leo.

Yes... a very serious case. It takes a LOT of neglect for a leopard gecko to have a case of MBD as severe as that.

Flabbergasted. That's one of the worst cases of MBD I've ever seen -- I think I've only seen one other that was comparable. Really not sure if these people should be offering gecko care information... and very glad you set them straight, Marcia.

Yeah, that site is horrible. I deleted a link to that page from Wikipedia the other day and replaced it with a link to this forum. I've seen that picture somewhere else either in a book or online, but I can't remember where exactly. If I figure it out, I'll post it here.
Here's the Wikipedia leo page - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leopard_gecko
