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.

Dart frog question
I have two green and black dart frogs, and yesterday when I was cleaning their tank, one of the frogs stretched out his legs and "played dead" I was lifeless until I touched its feet, and then it hopped away. Do they play dead? Also they have very fat bellies...is that normal for a dart. Before my dwarf african water frog died his belly got really bloated before he "croaked". Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I had green and black auratuses for a couple years and never experienced them "playing dead". If no one can answer this question in this forum, I would post this on www.frognet.org. It is a great resource for dart frog owners and there are tons of really nice and experienced froggers more than happy to answer questions.
Hope this helps.

Your frog might have been shedding. I have seen some of my tree frogs contort themselves trying to get rid of their old skin.lol i have never noticed this with my auratus though. hope your frogs will be ok.

Playing dead is normal when the frog is stressed. I had some red galacs that would exhibit this behavior at times.
Nothing to worry about.
