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.

Three bad eggs tonight
Damn! Opened one of the incubators and chunky monkey and carl's eggs were totally collapsed and molded. One of my other females had an egg she kicked out of the lay box that I thought was going to be ok, but it had collapsed as well. Difficult night for me. I was looking forward to some pretty tangs.
On the bright side.....a check of the "tiger" group showed 3 more gravid females!!!!!!
Also, we came up with a name for the het rainwater tiger male:
Gump
My wife was thinking he looks like a Bubba, but I think Gump is a better fit. Now to come up with names for the other bunch.
I think I'm going to switch the laying medium to sphagnum moss since it is so damn hard to find eggs in the stuff Monte used.
I am enjoying all the hatchling images!
Regards,
Terry

THREE MORE . . .
. . . Unbelieveable. I'm so very happy for you. My tigers started out slow, but once I put in that new male, I think that's better.
Who's gravid?
I'm sorry to hear about Carl and Monkey's eggs - dang, I wonder if it was due to the stress? Hmmm . . . .
Well, that's how it goes some times. i actually had a horrible year until I got rid of my perilite. I don't know what happened - but i lost eveyone that was on perilite. But when i put them on vermiculite - the rest are fine.
Keep us up to date.
I like the name "Gump" - he is a "Gump".

The one female you knew about and two others. I'll check again tomorrow and write down which ones.
I swapped out the laying medium you were using and put in peat moss. I have found it easier to be able to locate the eggs with peat moss.
I love these tigers Monte!!! They are so alert and inquisitive. I was cleaning the enclosure out and they all came out and were looking at me. They really got excited when I dropped in crickets. It reminded me of a scene from The Lord of the Rings when the orcs come streaming out from below ground - same thing only it was leopard geckos coming out of the lay box to attack crickets not hobbits.
Regards,
Terry

Listen to this, I had a incubaor of about 30 eggs go bad about a month and a half ago. I just about cried. I am still not sure what happened. But on a good note I have gotten new eggs and expect about 26 babies in about 2 weeks. Time for theat baby rack huh,
