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

    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 recently purchased two juvenile Gargoyle Geckos from Kylie of Gargoyle Queen Reptiles and was thrilled with the entire transaction. Kylie's responses were prompt, polite and informative. She was patient and understanding as I had to make a change to my plans of a final payment date and shipping time frame.

The geckos arrived today very well packed, with their names, the ID she assigns each one, hatch date, hatch weight, names of each parent written on the deli cup. There was even a little "hello" speech bubble on each, which the geckos were kind enough to position themselves beneath for added effect.

Both animals are in great shape, and in the exact perfect condition I had expected based on the many photographs and tracking data for each that were provided via Kylie's iHerp account.

The entire transaction could not have gone any smoother, and I am really looking forward to keeping an eye on Kylie's future available animals. I'll definitely be a repeat customer.

I purchased Chromium from Kylie's site, Chromium can still be viewed on her page so I recommend you check her out because she is a gorgeous gecko! I was extremely pleased with my purchase, and look forward to adding her to my breeding projects! I will definetly buy from Kylie again!!
 
I recently purchased Garg Queen's baby gargoyle Silicon and couldn't be happier with this transaction. Kylie was prompt and helpful when answering my questions and was great at figuring how to get Silicon to me with my schedule and weather. There was some problem with shipping on the day we originally agreed but Kylie went above and beyond in getting that straightened out and shipping the next day. Silicon was packaged perfectly and seemed completely unconcerned by being mailed. She's even prettier than her pictures and in perfect health - I can't wait to see how this little one develops.

I highly recommend Gargoyle Queen!
 
I recently purchased Cerium from Kylie at Gargoyle Queen Reptiles. It was a fantastic transaction from start to finish. Kylie was always quick to respond to my e-mails and was so patient in answering my list of questions. Cerium arrived yesterday and it was love at first sight. Not only is the little guy (or gal) a beautiful little gecko but has such a wonderful personality. I am so thrilled with my little garglet.

Kylie is a knowledgeable breeder who really cares about her animals. She is a great seller who offers her continued support even after you have your gecko at home. I highly recommend Kylie at Gargoyle Queen Reptiles.
 
I purchased a beautiful Male Gargoyle from Kylie at Repticon SLC this year. Not only was the gecko super healthy, and ate great, Kylie has kept in contact with me to answer my questions and concerns as well as to inquire how the little guy is doing.

I also appreciate that she cares alot about tracking. She transferred the gecko to me on Iherp, and with it came lots of great pics, feeding information, lineage, and more.

She is definitely and asset to the reptile community, and I'm hoping to do business with her again in the future :)

A+
 
KYLIE IS AN OUTSTANDING BREEDER.

I Recently purchased "Lava" from Kylie, and he is flat out Amazing! i will most DEFINITELY be doing business with The "Gargoyle Queen" Again! :D

Thanks again for this wonderful boy kylie! i'll keep you updated on what he produces! :D
 
I have had My Gargoyle Gecko purchased from Gargoyle Queen for just under 2 weeks now.

Correspondence with Kylie was brilliant, I always knew what was happening and what to expect with the shipping arrangements. Tracking number was given to me as soon as she got it and so I knew where my baby was every step of the way

My Gargoyle Chubbiecas (hatchling name Decane) arrived in great condition and quite happy considering the trip s/he had just made.

It seems that Kylie socializes her hatchlings well also as Chubs enjoys just hanging out with us.

I would definitely buy from Kylie again, a very enjoyable experience.

Thanks Kylie!!!!

I've yet to buy from her, but I met who I think was her at a local expo, and she was extremely polite and I could tell she has a passion for her animals. I wish I could have bought her babies while she was here, it is already too hot to ship here, and probably will be until fall.
 
Kylie ROCKS!

My family visited the Reptile Expo in Las Vegas this past weekend and we met Kylie and her amazing Geckos.

We went to the show just to look for stuff for our other lizards, but once we met Kylie and a special little garglet, our day took a turn for the better!

Anyone considering a crested or gargoyle gecko should reach out to Kylie. She's the real deal with respect to knowledge, customer service and great animals.

Kylie from Gargoyle Queen Reptiles!

I got my first Gargoyle from a local reptile expo, and once i got him I knew that I had to get another one, but I wanted it to be from a good breeder that i felt i was in good hands with. I came across Kylies website and I literally read every single detail including her about me, and she sounded like the best choice to get a Gargoyle from, not only did she seem to love her Gargoyles but she seemed like a very kind person as well and would probably give me a hand if i needed it.

I fell in love with a little girl on her available page and I know most people would love to choose their new pets name, but Kylie had put her under Tantalum and I thought it fit her perfectly. A girl who already comes with a name sort of felt like it gave her a individual personality, she was just another listing. I decided to payment plan her.

I told Kylie I wouldn't be able to pay right away due to certain troubles i was having but i really wanted her, and Kylie was Okay with this as long as i left a despot on her. I placed my deposit the next day. The day finally arrived when i paid for her fully and got her shipped out. I'm new to gargoyles so my normal packages don't consist of a small little gecko in a box, i had her set up ready, and i was waiting for her to arrive here.

She arrived safely, well packaged, and awake and very active! I would do future business with Kylie, I love the way she handles her business and how she makes the process feel very friendly. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a first time Gargoyle, or someone just looking for a well cared for pet to have. Kylie is always available, she has always responded my messages and I can't wait to see my little girl get big!
 
Bought my first gargoyle

I have been trying to find a breeder for gargoyles for a couple months now, there are none in jersey. So I found a few online however a lot of the breeders put a bad taste in my mouth. A lot of the websites made me feel like their animals were just a number to them, having a generic picture of the animal with a drop down box for the sex and a quantity box. But I wanted to see the actually animal I was getting and I wanted to know more about it. So I came across Kylie's website and I knew once browsing thought it that I had found the right breeder. So I sent a email to her around 1130pm at night... 15 min later I got a email back! And that was where my buying process started. At first I asked Kylie to put me on her waiting list for babies that will be hatching over the next few weeks. But under the available page there was one beautiful gargoyle still available (hydrogen) who meet all my wants, and I asked Kylie to make note of my wants with a baby. The next day I was looking at hydrogens pictures and realized this was the right one for me. I emailed Kylie, she sent me her Paypal information and that was it. This morning at 1015am FedEx delivered my new addition. It was great working with Kylie, before I sent the payment I asked if she could take a few new pictures of hydrogen, and one of her in Kylie's hand so I could get a size comparison, had the pictures within a couple of hours. Kylie is more than a breeder, she loves these animals and even asked for me to send her pictures of hydrogen as she grows! This is my second gecko, and I hope to be able to add another in the future, and Kylie will be my first stop. Thank you again! -Rich
 
Buying from Kylie was a great experience! She really cares about her animals, and will answer any questions about them. When I emailed her asking about two geckos I was interested in, she responded promptly and with descriptions of both, and two videos of the geckos being handled. Kylie really is the Gargoyle Queen!
 
I recently purchased a Gargoyle from Kylie the "Gargoyle Queen" and have to say it went very smooth! She loves her animals and was such a easy person to do business with! Would recommend her and her beautiful geckos to anyone! Florine is eating well and doing great!

Absolutely Superb!

:) I recently adopted a gargoyle gecko from Kylie. I emailed her about a week ago and the day after I did, she replied! She answered my emails quickly and within the week I was able to adopt Methanol! Through the whole process she was polite and very instructive. Although Methanol has no arrived yet, I can only assume that Methanol will be healthy and happy, and will arrive perfectly safely. Definitely recommending! Thanks a lot Kylie! :):rofl::D:yesnod:;):thumbsup:
 
Recently purchased an R. Chahoua from Kylie. Excellant transaction from start to finish and a superb gecko! Email responses were prompt and thorough, packaging was great and detailed records were included. The R. Chahoua is even better than I expected! Great appetite, calm and alert, and even better looking than the pics-- just a really awesome gecko!

I would absolutely recommend Gargoyle Queen Reptiles to anyone. Fantastic experience. Thanks!
 
A few months ago I purchased "Saccharin" one of Kylie's 2013 gargoyle hatchlings. Throughout the process, she was always quick and seemed happy to answer all my emails and many questions. She did a great job updating me on weather and finding a shipping date that worked with my schedule. Saccharin arrived safely and was packaged well. The little one is amazing and doing well! Ate right away, is friendly and growing, not to mention gorgeous! I'm very happy with my purchase and would recommend Kylie at Gargoyle Queen to everyone.
 
Kylie at Gargoyle Queen Reptiles is a true asset to the herp community. She is one of THE BEST breeders of any reptile I've talked to/purchased from. I bought my first gecko Lucifer from her "Thulium" as he was named on her website!

Luce was my first gecko ever, and I had a LOT of questions for Kylie. She never made me feel stupid or acted annoyed by all my questions, she was happy to answer anything I was wondering about. She answers quickly and in great detail, and she really makes you feel comfortable!

She is a breeder that is in this for the ANIMALS, not the MONEY like a lot I have seen. Her husbandry is fantastic, and you can tell by her quality animals! Lucifer is a great little gecko, and I'm currently in the process of getting 2 female crested geckos from her. She is my first choice when it comes to New Caledonian geckos.
 
I purchased a Crested gecko from Kylie a few months back, and it was a wonderful experience! Shipping temperatures took a few months to come into range, and for that time my gecko was kindly held for a small fee. Kylie took great care to accommodate me and when the time came my gecko arrived happy and healthy! He's a gorgeous boy, very unique in both appearance and personality!

Kylie continues to be helpful with any questions I've had, even this long after the initial transaction. Very much recommended!
