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

    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.

everyone starts somewhere and just remember a few years ago those were really hot animals that not too many had:thumbsup:
 
Caramel glow. I have a hypo poss het caramel who will breed 2 het caramel poss het hypos. Heck, I will be happy if the pairing produces hypos since that proves the females are double hets. I have high hopes of the females. I got them from Michael Cole, and they are sooo bright like my other het hypose. I picked the ones that stood out from a big group.
 
Uh...I think Im way behind everybody..I guess although Ive been doing this since 2001, having money is not in my favor so everything I have has taken years to get. :) Anywho, my most exciting this year will be clowns and possibly some gargoyles. Nothing like what other people have but oh well, they are still way sweet. :D

:iagree:hey there is not one breeder alive that has EVERY morph, especially a new one. I completely forgot I have a 4000g dinker that bred a fire last year and gave me what looked like deserts. I was scratching my head trying to figure out how I did not log the desert with her. I am breeding son back to mom this year and really hoping for something good. Thanks for remind me Focal:thumbsup:

you are correct. I usually produce better than average fires, but not this nice or I would call them my own line:D

hey there you go, if nothing special comes out of it other than ridiculous fires maybe I will:rofl:

Ive been in this since 2004 and Ive built up slowly...investing very little cash except for what I produce....that being said...Ive got a clutch in the oven right now that I hope I produce a spinner blast...or possibly a queen bee...or possibly a pewter bee...I had 3 males with her...also Im hoping for Albino spiders...i have a female alnibo and a female het that are dedicated to my albino spider male...good luck to all
 
I have a few awesome (to me) combos possible this coming year. In order from best to least calibee (slim chance), spider mystic potion ( females building folicles now) mystic potion, (female is starting her preovulation swell), and pastel calico. The mystic potion is my goal snake this year a bonus would be the spider potion. I have 3 mojo females over 1600 and 1 spider mojave (proven breeder) in the 1800g range so my chances are pretty good............but only time will tell. I never get my hopes up too high. :)Chris
 
The top 3 that I'll admit to hoping for this season are a pastel BEL (super mojo), pastave ghost, and caramel glow. Good luck to everyone this season!
 
let me know if you make some pastave ghosts or pastave het ghost because I may want a female or two.
 
I'd say pastave ghost is what I'm hoping for most, though I'd probably be happier if my pastel butter poss het ghost male proves het for me. That would mean he needs to stop being such a wimp and actually make a move on the normal het ghost i got just for him.
 
hoping for both a butter-spider and a pastel caramel..... OH and a whole mess of female pastel (poss) het clowns would be sweet too :)

Not as high-end, but would make me pretty happy for my third year breeding...
 
Hopefully hit the odds on the Albino Pieds and Axanthic Pieds...from there I would have to say Potions and Caliders and Super Pewter...
Travis
Lair of Dragons
 
Hopefully some Mojobees, Fire spiders, fire mojos, or some bel's

If my pastel female would ever get up to size, I would like some killer bees or some pastel calicos haha.
