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

    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.

I woke this morning to find my Male deceased, after taking him to the vet and them finding nothing wrong but a mild parasite and giving me medication, he still didn’t make it,

Now I’m out of a friend and my breeder ::sigh:: this has not been a good year
:bawling:
 
he was such a good boy, always ate and i think he bred with one female, its hard to believe he is gone:(
 
Shea, I'm so sorry to hear your male passed away. I lost one of my girls a couple of days ago too, and I'm still not over it yet. We really do become attached to our beautiful, gentle, little leos... and it's hard to lose something you love, and it's especially hard when others cannot understand our bond with reptiles. I hope you can find a little comfort from all your friends here on Fauna.
 
Yes i am, i am greatful for your concerns,

the hard part now is finding a new male, Id rather not, jsut because of how attached I was o him, but I know I have to having one feale already expecting and two ovulating Im hoping to find a new one soon, but he couldnt replace the one I have lost :(
 
Thank you all, I made him a little grave stone today O_O thats so corny but I dont care
 
Shea and Marcia-I'm so sorry to hear of your losses
I just lost my oldest male yesterday
He was 10 and he weighed 108 grams just 4 months ago -no change in anything in his diet or set-up
He was housed with the female that he had lived with for the past 10 years
I sure will miss him-He had been my BUD for many years now
One consolation is that I do have a female baby from him
This is his daughter prima

Isnt it funny how we can get attatched to all manner of creatures? I keep tarantulas, (just starting with leos) and I was balling my eyes out over the loss of a beautiful female this winter. It's worse when you dont know why they died, was it something you did? or didnt do? Its worthless to beet yourself up about it, but you do anyway. And my daughter had a guppy that she had had for years die on her the other day, she's 14, but she still cried. Goes to show how love truely doesnt have any boundries.
Peace,
