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

    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.

    Okay I need some help here! In case you don't remember, I have a super rescued leo from a little over a year ago. ( Pics ) I've done a pretty good job with her, considering I figured she would have died days after I got her. Anyway my problem is getting a humid hide for her. Considering how...

    Totally heartbroken

    Okay, I was going into my room tonight to feed all the geckos. While I walking over to the crested cage I heard this weird rustling noise. When i look in I see my female crested flipping around and thrashing like crazy. Then she just stopped and now she is dead. She had like some sort of...

    New from Blazin

    Just thought I'd post pics of the two I just got from Chad Gill this morning. The tangerine CT is male and the normal (het blizzard) is female. The male sat calmly on my hand while I took pics, but the female had other ideas. Anyway, enjoy the pics!!

    My Perdy Fattie baby!

    I nrecently took some pics of my AFT babies. But I guess I only took pics of the really pretty one. I have two girls, they were clutch mates, but only one came out with the neat rust/orange coloring on her. This is Skittles, the day after she was born (I went to cedar point the day she was...

    Too many deformed leos

    Over the last week or so, I've noticed an increase in leos being sold with some kind of deformity in classified ads here and other places online. Is anyone else disturbed by this? Let me say this before someone else does, I'm glad people are actually telling people about the problems instead...

    Picture from KS Classifieds

    While looking through the KS classifieds I found this picture of a male patternless with a tear near his man region. My question is, how does something like this happen and what would cause something like this? Again, this is not my picture, this belongs to the man selling it on KS. I am just...

    Probably a stupid question

    I know that you can sex veiled cham's almost at birth because of their back feet. But I can't find a picture anywhere online to show me a male and a female, so I know for sure what I'm looking for. I'll probably be surprising my boyfriend with a cham or a uromastyx for christmas, so I'm starting...

    MIA Gecko :(

    Well I was cleaning/feeding the babies tonight and one of them got loose. I took two of the fatter ones out of the cage while I fed the others. About 15 minutes later I hear a noise like they are trying to push the lid off the tub I put them in (I left a house on top of the lid to keep it on...

    "Stuff" In eye

    My beautiful little PA seems to have gotten some shedding stuck in her eyes. The first night I saw it, I tried to get it out but she wouldn't let me. The next morning it seemed to be gone, I looked and it was no where to be seen. So last night I noticed her eye was closed and sure enough, it has...

    Short faces/long faces

    Stop me if you've heard this before, but I've been noticing something with different leos faces. I've seen that some have very long heads, and others have short stockier heads. For examples i've found pics on breeders sites. I don't want ot post their pictures here without permission so I'll...

    I'm a officially a mom

    I knew my fat tail eggs were getting ready to hatch, so I've been checking them every morning, every afternoon, and then again before bed every evening. Yesterday morning I wake up at the butt crack of dawn to get ready to go to cedar point (If you don't know what that it, it's probably the best...

    Kinda important...

    How common is it for females to develop eggs w/o ever being introduced to a male? I ask this because one of my girls (I have NO male leos, and trust me I double checked tonight) seems to be developing eggs. I'm kinda freaking out because she was my first and she hassn't been eating too much...

    Reptile disinfectant?

    What does everyone use for cleaning/disinfecting their cages? I am using tiles in my newest set-up and I want to use something to clean the tiles with. Something like rubbing alcohol or something? I really don't know, I need something save for my gecks and probably in a spray form? Thanks!

    I love this pic...

    I went on a picture taking rampage last weekend, and I've decided this is one of my favorites. It looks better in the original size, but then it wouldn't fit here. This is my girl Scorch hanging out in their orange house.

    My girls in their new home! Long!

    I couldn't help but take pics of my newest home for the girls. The youngest three are the cutest in their home, so most of the pictures are of my 3 young gals, my Blizzard, my stripe, and my tang. The two last pics are of girls I've had a while, the first being Buttercup my first ever, in her...

    My newest gecko home!

    I figure the cage/set up I built deserves to be on the regular forum, and the cute exploration photos for the girls looking around their new home can go in the photo section. I just finished this cage tonigh, and put all the finishing touches and the geckos in today. The tanks I bought were...

    Rack/Cage building...

    Anyone here build their own racks or cages? I'm going to have $125 to spend on something, and something tells me it'll be cheaper to build than to buy. I'm not sure where to go to find out, so I thought I'd try here first. Where would I get materials to build it, because melamine is too heavy...
