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

    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 folks! Haven't been around much lately, life has gotten way out of control! LOL

I know that the single gene critters aren't that exciting these days, but I was pretty excited about this clutch. I bred my black back cinnie that I got from Tim Bailey to a black back female of mine and I couldn't be happier with the results.

Perfect odds (3 normals, 3 cinnies). I was starting to dispair though, when every time an animal left the egg, it had penes. Finally, yesterday, the last baby left the egg, and it was a female - so I got my female cinnie!

I love selective breeding!

Here are the boys:

And my holdback girl:

She has insane floating connecting pattern about 1/2 to 3/4 of her body on both sides - you can kind of see it here:

And then I got this very interesting normal male:

Here are the proud parents! LOL

Click to expand...

Hah! She's not going anywhere! :reddevil: LOL But if you want one of the males, that's a different story. ;)

I won't be going to Trey's today, so I'll miss you - but it was nice running into you on Sunday! :)
 
p.s.- so jelous!! ( in a good way tho) i tried to get female cinnies from mine, he showed no interest.
 
But...but...but...:crying: I want her!!! :rofl:

It was nice running into you, too. Congrats on the gorgeous cinnies!!
 
They are beautiful Robin, Congrats again.
:thumbsup:

What are your plans for your holdback girl ?
You don't happen to have a male SPOG with a BlackBack, do you ?

They would make some really nice Hypo Cinnys, or some great looking Hypo Pewters and Silver Streaks.
 
Gorgeous!! If I didn't already have a pewter male and cinny male I would be getting one of yours. The black back gene is one of my main focuses, so if you have any female black back cinnies in the future... Remember me! :thumbsups:

Post a sticky note somewhere! Lol jking.

Great looking babies. I love cinnies! Congrats.
 
i agree. that is a really nice one. i hate to say it, but i think she looks better than mine. :D she will be dropping some eggs next week so i hope to get some more black/brown backs.

Bradley,

I really hope that you produce more as well! And your girl is pretty hot herself!

Needless to say, I do plan to do this same pairing next year as well, since the outcome turned out so well! :D
 
Very cool! If I hadn't hatched a male pewter this season I would totally snatch one of those male cinnies off you.
