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

    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.

Wow Karen, that is really admirable! If only more people were willing to do as you have! High five!
 
here is what i have

15 leopard geckos
6 bearded dragons
2 nose be chamaleons
6 veil chameleons
2 jackson chameleons
8 leopard geckos eggs
57 veil eggs
 
I have hundreds of snakes...all boids and hots. I couldn't even begin to list them all...

Do frozen animals count? What about crickets? LOL
 
One is a miniature poodle (we do not give him any spoofy haircuts).
The other is half Mini Poodle, Half Yorkish Terrier. There is a new official name for her, since her breed, and many other poodle mixes have become very popular due to size, and very nice looks.
YORKY-POO! I know, add an s, and put my before yorky. "My-yorky-poos". I dunno why anybody would want to add "poo" into the name of a dog..
I'll try and get some pictures, to prove they are not spoofy fancy dogs.

Well over 25 now, picking up another snake on Sat and going to the White Plains show on Sunday to buy more. :) When dragon babies start to hatch out in the spring I should easily go over 200 counting hatchlings on hand that are being raised up or waiting to be sold. After I am done keeping my holdbacks and purchasing more dragons, purchasing more snakes, etc I should be near 100 permanent by the end of this year.

I'd say my 10 yr plan is at least 500. :)
 
I have some

however i have a variety of pets.

2 yellow labs, 1 sulcotta, 1 greek, 1 ninety gallon salt water tank and 2 24 gallon Nano Cubes both salt water and 2 cats. and a few squirrels livin in my walls that I cant seem to trap.
