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

    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.

    Your mail box says it is full so I wanted to respond on your page.

    Are you still offering crested geckos I would like breedable female or close to it. That are red peach orange. Pleases let me know if you have any.

    Just to let you know, Rose and Pirate are my championship breeders this year!! VERY consistently putting out viable eggs!! And adorable babies!!

    On the other hand, Cantaloupe and Fatty don't seem to be too interested in their ladies! I can't blame Fatty, after all, Tigger first nipped his tail and he had to go into quarantine, and then, took the whole damned tail right off him and ATE IT. But Cantaloupe is housed with two sweet ladies right now, and if I get eggs, it's usually one dud and one fertile one.

    Not complaining, mind you...just letting you know the guys aren't doing their jobs!!

    Is this the first year of breeding for the guys?

    Hey there- I was interested in your baby tiger crested, and wanted to ask if you have an approximate age/weight for it.

    Hey my internet is down so i can't send you pics, but i think we could work out a trade with a red pinner. I can think of two that i have, a bright red and orange pinner unsexed and a gravid 38 gram gravid red girl with dashing pinning. If either of those sound appealing to you I could get you pictures tomorrow.

    So the red super D juvie is exacttly what I have been looking for. I want to make an offer but don't really know how much to offer. I don't want to offend you if its not close to what you wanted to get. So I will start at $250. I also have a few things I could offer as a partial trade if you are interested. I have a few LTC Uroplatus Sikorae, a few juvie gargs, cresteds, and some extra tanks and a misting system. I am just throwing this out there cause I really really want that super. If you were interested in tanks I could drive most if not all the way to you. Please let me know what you think either way and we will go from there. Like I said I really want this guy. I love supers and have been looking for one like that awhile.

    Thanks,
    Adam
