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

    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.

I am putting this guy up for sale. When I acquired this guy a few months ago, I was told it was probed as a female..........well to my surprise it shed out sperm plugs a few days ago and that really throws a curve ball at my breeding plans so I have decided to part with this animal (knowing that I am going to regret it!!!)

He comes from a biak x merauke pairing and was hatched in Aug 07. Some of you may have seen some of the clutch mates....quite a few of them are turning out to be amazing HY animals. Troy Frantz states that it was CB within the US but he comes with no paperwork and I don't have any photos of the parents. That being said I think this animal speaks for itself.......almost two years old and still 98% yellow with a decent amount of scattered white scales. His yellow is so bright it's almost blinding and he seems to be gaining more white. This is a great male for anybody looking to get into a HY project. He should be ready to bread by next season. He is a very solid eater currently eating f/t large adult mice every 10-14 days. He is pushing 400g. I have records on him since he's been in my care on iherp. Any other questions please feel free to ask.

NO LONGER AVAILABLE

This HY Biak x Merauke is an absolute stunner! I couldn't be any happier with the Sorong girl I picked up from him or the transaction between Brian and I! She arrived safely and quickly in perfect condition and a great personality as I as I'm sure this one will too. Anyone who is seeking a lovely chondro should definitely check out this HY- I can back up the quality and time he puts into making these chondros so beautiful. His customer support is A++ and my emails were always promptly responded to extremely nicely. Overall, this has been one of the best transactions I have experienced and recommend it to everyone. Quality IS contagious!
 
Thanks for the kind words, Ben. I'm sure somebody will be really happy with this male. Few people interested but no takers yet. I will entertain reasonable offers at this time. E-mail me at [email protected]. lets talk
