    =====================

    I am still waiting on my developer to finish up on the Classifieds Control Panel so I can use it to encourage members into becoming paying members. Google Adsense has become a real burden on the viewing of this site, but honestly it is the ONLY source of income now that keeps it afloat. I tried offering disabling the ads being viewed by paying members, but apparently that is not enough incentive. Quite frankly, Google Adsense has dropped down to where it barely brings in enough daily to match even a single paid member per day. But it still gets the bills paid. But at what cost?

    So even without the classifieds control panel being complete, I believe I am going to have to disable those Google ads completely and likely disable some options here that have been free since going to the new platform. Like classified ad bumping, member name changes, and anything else I can use to encourage this site to be supported by the members instead of the Google Adsense ads.

    But there is risk involved. I will not pay out of pocket for very long during this last ditch experimental effort. If I find that the membership does not want to support this site with memberships, then I cannot support your being able to post your classified ads here for free. No, I am not intending to start charging for your posting ads here. I will just shut the site down and that will be it. I will be done with FaunaClassifieds. I certainly don't need this, and can live the rest of my life just fine without it. If I see that no one else really wants it to survive neither, then so be it. It goes away and you all can just go elsewhere to advertise your animals and merchandise.

    Not sure when this will take place, and I don't intend to give any further warning concerning the disabling of the Google Adsense. Just as there probably won't be any warning if I decide to close down this site. You will just come here and there will be some sort of message that the site is gone, and you have a nice day.

    I have been trying to make a go of this site for a very long time. And quite frankly, I am just tired of trying. I had hoped that enough people would be willing to help me help you all have a free outlet to offer your stuff for sale. But every year I see less and less people coming to this site, much less supporting it financially. That is fine. I tried. I retired the SerpenCo business about 14 years ago, so retiring out of this business completely is not that big if a step for me, nor will it be especially painful to do. When I was in Thailand, I did not check in here for three weeks. I didn't miss it even a little bit. So if you all want it to remain, it will be in your hands. I really don't care either way.

    =====================
    Some people have indicated that finding the method to contribute is rather difficult. And I have to admit, that it is not all that obvious. So to help, here is a thread to help as a quide. How to become a contributing member of FaunaClassifieds.

    And for the record, I will be shutting down the Google Adsense ads on January 1, 2025.

Just wanted to give a little info on this girl. She's an early 2006 that I bought as a hatchling. She had been a monster eater for the first 2 years and was up to size by her second year. She was young but she was in the 1300 g range so I bred her to another mojo in hopes of producing my pinacle (at the time) the bel.......no eggs 2008, same for 2009, and 2010. I bought a mystic this past February for some other girls here, but I still hadn't given up on her. I introduced him to her and witnessed a lock the first day! She has been glowing like kryptonite for the past few weeks. She started getting that preovulation swell yesterday and I can't be more excited. She's 2805 grams now so cross your fingers for me and don't ever give up on those stubborn girls!:D Chris Hall

Heres hoping for some potions to make up for your lost years. Congrats
 
Whos man u might get 9eggs with 7 of them being potions, making for lost time lol i hope that happens for u good luck u deserve it for sticking in there.
 
Congrats and good luck!! The odd gods will be with you on this one!!

Question, has your male mojave produced for you from another female? Sounds like he might be a dud. Sometimes its not always the female not taking.
 
Big girl and pretty also! Good luck.
 
Thanks for the replies. The male mojo she locked with the last few years was a stud. He's fatherd several clutches for me so it was just her being stubborn. I sold him after I bought the mystic and held back one of his pastave sons for backup. He was an awesome looking mojo. Hated to sell him, but I filled his rack space the next day. :) Chris

That's good! Maybe she just didn't like his swagger or lil swimmers. :rofl:

Keep us updated with her!
 
This girl was building in the pics I posted, but she is still swollen! I think she's in full ovulation now, but it has been 2 weeks. Is this very common to have such a long building and ovulation period?
