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

    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.

Thanks to Krystal & Kyle @ Gekkonidazed Geckos... Today I recieved a stunning male Crested to use a main part of my breeding program for next season. He came in great shape exactly as described! And, I also got two healthy hatchlings out of one of my favorite girls!

Great work guys... :)

Yep, i totally recommend the Salzmanns to anyone, they are simply wonderful to do business with. Prices are pretty dam good also.
 
Just recieved my fourth gecko from Krystal and Kyle. Baby came well packed and safely shipped. Thanks again guys for another smooth sale!

We've done many transactions both buying and selling with Kyle and Krystal over the last several years, and also some trading along the way. Never so much as a hiccup with any transaction. Communication has always been nothing short of excellent.
 
A++++

These are some great folks. This was actually my first experience buying a reptile online and Kyle & Krystal were so helpful through every step of the way. USPS actually LOST the poor gecko in the mail and he was stuck on the truck for 3 days. We figured him for dead, however when he showed up, the little guy was perfectly fine! Obviously he survived not only because he was properly packaged but because he was healthy enough for such a stressful journey. They even tossed in a generous helping of CGD to hold him over til mine came in the mail. Can't thank you guys enough, looking forward to our next transaction.
 
I just received my first sara today from Kyle & Krystal, and he/she is beautiful and was perfectly packed. They were both very helpful and patient during the whole transaction, I would recommend them to anyone!
 
Just received a gorgeous little Crested from Kyle and Krystal and couldn't be more happy with him. USPS took a day longer than they should have getting him to me, but he arrived safe and sound due I'm sure to Kyle's great packing job. Great people to work with! :yesnod:

Kyle & Krystal Salzmann of Gekkonidazed Geckos

Just did a bloodline trade on some hatchling P.I. chahoua's with Kyle & Krystal Salzmann of Gekkonidazed Geckos. We both shipped on the same day and the package coming to me got misplaced overnight at the fedex hub there. Instead of just waiting with fingers crossed, Kyle took the time to drive back to the hub the next morning, replace the heat pack, and re-ship the package from the hub. The chahoua arrived the next morning safe and sound. It's care like this that puts them above the rest!

It was all around great working with them and would not hesitate to buy from, sell to, or trade with them in the future. The gecko looked great and was in great health. Also, they used the best insulated box I've ever even seen to ship. It puts the regular 3/4" insulation boxes the rest of us (myself included) use to shame.

Thanks again Kyle and Krystal!!
 
Kyle and Krystal are great folks. First, Kyle knows about as much about geckos as anyone I've met. Their animals are first class and very healthy. Their love of the animals really shows through. Highly recommended.
 
I purchased a young chahoua and a young crested from Kyle and Krystal and they arrived in perfect condition last week! I couldn't be happier with the communication and the quality of what I bought!

Both geckos are chunky and happy and have already started eating and pooping and shedding just fine.

This was my first transaction with the Salzmanns and it wont be the last!

Thank you Krystal and Kyle!
 
I recently purchased two males from Kyle and Krystal and I couldn't be happier with everything! Kyle was so nice and kept sending me updates on how everything was going (we had some issues with the check I mailed to him but that was US mail's fault) and the geckos arrived in perfect shape and exactly as described if not better. I would without a doubt purchase from them again and refer anyone looking for a quailty gecko to them.
 
I received the most beautiful baby crested gecko from Krystal & Kyle Salzmann today, and NOTHING could have been done any better. The entire transaction was seamless, I was sent plenty of pictures of my baby while we waited for suitable shipping weather. The Salzmann's were very patient and WONDERFUL to deal with :) Im completely happy & satisfied with every aspect of my purchase and would NEVER hesitate to do business with Gekkonidazed Geckos again :)
 
Amazing!

Purchased a mainland chahoua from them, and the transaction couldn't have been any smoother!
Great communication, and amazing geckos!
 
Purchased one crested gecko from these guys and one of Terri the Lizard Lady's Sarasinorums as they were helping her ship out animals.
Great all around customer service, fun to work with and great packaging. Arrived on time and in great shape, couldn't be happier with my purchase. :)
 
Just got a gorgeous near-black and cream Harlequin Crested baby from Kyle and Krystal, and (s)he is STUNNING and even better than her photos. I am stoked to see how this baby develops, and I would definitely not hesitate to do business with them again. Great communication and customer-friendly vibes! Not to mention- gorgeous geckos.
 
Just received my first dark Mainland chahoua, "Auburn," from Kyle, and couldn't be happier! The animal is strong and extremely well cared for, and was safely packaged for the trip. The whole transaction was very professional, the communication was nice and prompt, and I also appreciated the note to the seller in the package with contact information. Kudos for good customer care! All in all, a great seller I'd like to do business with in the future.

Krystal and Kyle are a pleasure to do business with! I recently purchased a hatchling crested gecko from them, and its was a smooth and pleasant transaction. We had to wait a bit for shipping on my end, but even with last minute notification that I had good weather, they were able to get my gecko out safe and perfectly packaged :)

The animal I received was very healthy and BETTER than advertised! While Gekkonidazed geckos take awesome photos of their geckos, pictures do not do this little one justice :)

Can't wait to purchase from you guys again, your animals are awesome and you still have plenty more pairings I need to get hatchlings from :)

Thanks again!
 
I also have nothing but good things to say about these folks. I purchased an animal from them about 2 months ago and the entire transaction was smooth sailing. Quality geckos, prompt and courteous communication and volunteered photo updates is what you can expect from the Salzmanns. My gecko was packaged properly and arrived safe without any hiccups. These guys really set the standard for customer service and I hope to do more business with them in the future.
 
These guys helped ship a gorgeous little male Sarasinorum from Terri the Lizard lady. Super nice and helpful with my first ever shipment!
