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

    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.

***SALE ENDS DEC 15 it's a Thursday. That's also the last day I'm shipping this year.

First off I want to thank all my great customers for giving me the best year I've seen in a long time. I have met so many great reptile nuts!! So this is my way of saying thank you!
There's a ton of people that would love to have a panther but can't normally afford one so hopefully this will give some of those people the opportunity to own arguably the most beautiful creature in existence.
First up I have roughly 20 babies that got all mixed up (big accident don't ask) these are all 100% pure localities but I have no way of knowing who's who. Eventually the males will show themselves but the females should be considered as pets only. This group is still very young. They will be about 5 weeks within days. Very very healthy and you will get a live arrival guarantee but that's it. Live arrival to me means you will receive a lively animal.
No guarateees on sex. Will do my best. Those animals are $55 each plus shipping ($50 flat rate) I will sell one 10 lot for a better deal.

2nd up is 2 true blue nosy b males (roughly 3 months old) beautiful baby blues coming in. $85 each plus shipping ($50 flat rate)

3rd up I have a handful of ambanjas from around 5 weeks old to close to 3 months $65 for smaller animals and $85 for 2plus month animals. No guarantees on sex. I will do my best.

4th up Ambilobis. Most are around 5/6 weeks old but I do have 2 that are over 3 months. $60 each for younger animals and $70 for the 2 older animals plus shipping ($50)Only live arrival guarantee on the younger ones. They are also guaranteed to be lively. Again I will do my best to sex them for you guys but no guarantees.

This goes for everything. You can not just order males. There must be atleast as many females as males in your order. Your welcome to order as many females as you want.

WHOLESALE?? Call me

First time chameleon owner or are you just not very experienced? If your answer is yes do not order a smaller (less expensive) baby. I will ask and if I don't think you have enough experience I will not sell a younger baby to you. No offense. Just want you to have a really good experience with your new animal and I need to know the animal is in good hands.
Sorry for these prices I am not giving out any pictures of sires. This could devalue my animals in a sense. This is the one and only catch to my deals today. All locales are guarateee to be 100% pure. All bloodlines are beyond top notch.

So there it is. Again thank you to all my customers for a fantastic year. I appreciate everyone of you!!

Unless stated I give a 48 hour guarantee to all animals. If you send me a picture of your cage and it's suitable I extend my guarantee to 7 days. I'm here for a lifetime of support as always. For me to honor my live arrival guarantee you must video the unboxing. (Just a simple cell phone video) I insure my boxes and the video is needed for a worst case scenario.

This sale is on hold until Monday afternoon. This Monday will be by far the biggest shipping day I've ever had. I want to thank all of you for your overwhelming business. Just need to ship out all orders and then I'll know exactly what's left. Don't worry there's more. But it's going to be limited this time.
 
I still have a very small handful left.
What's left is 2 ambilobis and 5 from the mix up group. But I'm going to hold onto atleast 2 for give sways that I'm doing on Facebook.
I decided yesterday to be my last day for shipping. It's so close to Christmas and I don't want to chance a delay because of the over load of general shipping that's going on right now because of Christmas presents.
