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

    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.

zoo?

I have a small zoo at my house. I have 12 box turtles (two babies and 10 adults) and two Leopard Tortoises, 3 Eclectus Parrots, 2 Cockatiels, 7 cats, 2 dogs and a fish. And they all get along together. I am always cleaning but I wouldn't change a minute of it! I only work three days a week, so I am home a lot with them. My husband and I don't have any children and we both love animals.

:yesnod:Hi,since i started in 1975 and joining this forum I've topped the 200 mark in scorpions along with Land snails and turtles,millipedes and salamanders.You will never hear me talk about being an expert on scorpions but I've been keeping and breeding them since 1975 and have the respect they need to do this hobby without forgetting about common sense.Great hobby and a great Forum.Take care all.

Hi - my first post in here.
I hit the 21-50 mark option as I'm planning on holding back some of my eggs.

Currently -
9 cal kings
2 MBKs
1 corn
1 pac gopher
6 california alligator lizard
= 19 reptiles
16 cal king eggs + 14 alligator lizard eggs

However - I'm on the hunt for a male pac gopher.
I will be holding back 2 alligator lizards and 2 cal kings from this years production (possibly more cal kings if I get some really neat ones). I also will be purchasing a couple corns (but only one for me) and 4 cal kings this year, an MBK and holding back an MBK from a clutch my big MBK fathered, etc. - so um, yeah - I think the 20-50 mark describes me.
 
4-cal kings 4-greybands-4 hondurian milks 4-leopard geckos 4-corn snakes RR

Hello Everyone!

Doesn't anyone out there like tortoises?! So many snake and lizard people! I'm feeling kind of lonesome! :D
Anyway, I am the proud owner of a few Sri Lankan star tortoises and three daschund dogs!
By the way, I didn't mean for my photo in the other thread to turn out so large, I didn't mean to assault your senses like that!
Take care,
Deb Thomas
