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

    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.

    Hi Theresa, my Chams. are doing o.k. My Blue Bar has been digging out in a plant I have in the Viv. so I've added her a small plastic tub to lay in,(I hope?) My Veiled Cham. has laid the other day, so now I have 106 eggs off her cooking. 46 due to hatch in few weeks. I don't think I will bother after these have hatched and sold, my love is more for the Panthers now. However I will keep my male Veiled Cham. he is quite a character:)
    I can't wait to get my Mellers very soon, 2 females and 1 male, Juv./Adult's.
    I just love big Chams. I have Oustalet's, but not bred them yet!..?

    Greetings!! Thanks for all the sweet comments about our chameleons! We have purchased some from Screamelons as well :) Being a collector, Breeder we are always adding to our collection. We just had about 30 Pinks hatch- so that is quite exciting!! I really wish you weren't so far away! We would love to do business!! We have been selling quite a few, just sent one to WI, so we have them all over the states, :) How are you Chams doing? :)

It's great to see some of your Chams. the only other's that I've seen as good is a company named "SCREAMELONS" have you heard of them, and "they don't export to the U.K. either" :)

    Hi Col.- Glad to hear your chameleon is doing better. I have never been to New York but my sister has and loved it, she lived there for a couple of years. Please feel free to contact if you have any questions. Thanks Theresa

    Hi ya Theresa, got back yesterday from New York :) had a FAB TIME. I have had best time of my life in the States, Times Square is out of this world, what a place, just loved it, and people there are soooo...nice. My Juv. Sambava is doing fine, those tags he had on him are off now, so look's as if a friend of mine was right re-"Sperm Plugs". I had never seen them before. Thanx for your e-mail address, if I get any probs. in future I don't know about I'll give you a call :) CHEERS!...

    I have a prob. with a male Juv. Sambava, I noticed that either side of where he does his motion(poo!) he has a small skin like tag. I thought it was shed skin stook, but no, I tried to take them off, and it was like as if it was conected to his inside???.. I have'nt had this happen before? any idea's/ my nearest vet who does reps. is approx. 30 miles away, but my local vet said he will look at it, but no promises re-treatment. CAN YOU HELP???.. I thought it looks as if he's strained himself? he's still eating o.k. but not seen him empty himself yet in 2 days??. I am getting a little worried.
