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

    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.

Help me tell what morph he is.

Here is the father of my soon to be baby leos.

Any ideas on what he is? I hope hes something special
 
Just judging be the picture (although the lighting could be better) he looks to be a very nice yellow normal. He probably has been a stinker to get to eat while breeding, huh? He looks like he could use just a few more groceries and he'll be at a really good weight to do it again for you next time around.

My males don't eat much when they are breeding either, so they're playing "catch-up" right now too, though by the looks of it mine are much bigger than yours. How old is he and what's his name (if you name yours-I do, I'm a sap!)?
 
His name is balboa. What do you mean by lighting? If you think the colors are dark because of lighting those are his real colors. I have a normal female and he just dosn't look anything like her nor any other normals i've seen. I just have a weird leo i guess :shrug01: He is a bugger to feed sometimes but he took a Super Worm today along with his three playmates. I'm just surprised on how fast he caught on to the idea of i wanted him to breed. The first minute i put him in there he went after the SHTCT and the Tangerine Tornado. I thought the SHTCT was a male at first because you could see the pores but ya after she had no interest in any of the females and Balbao started after her we learned that we have a female. Who is actually pregnant right now and should be giveing eggs in a couple weeks
 
Oh, I wasn't accusing you of playing with the lighting, please don't think that. The picture just looks like it doesn't do him justice. I bet he's much different in person.

Dig his name! Hope he makes you some eye-popping babies and you know everyone will want pictures!:)
 
I'll get the pictures of the babies when they hatch. If we make some good profits i'm hopeing to get a couple more females and a male if i'm lucky. Thanks for your help!
 
So is it a normal or a high yellow? Or is there some third thing that will make this even more confuseing? :shrug01:
 
A high-yellow, for all intents and purposes, is a normal, although an exceptionally nice one! That is why you see people buying the nicest animals they can for their breeding projects. A lot of times that means buying for color- hence the term "high-yellow".
