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

    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 work for the Coalition of Herp Enthusiasts in Tennessee, and I keep a book of sheds to display at reptile shows. I use my book to get people over their fear of reptiles (touch a reptile without really touching one!) and to let people touch the skin of a reptile they may never see in person (ex. Earless Monitor). I am currently looking for donors for my book (credit given)! The book contains the taxonomy and name of the reptile and owner.
I currently have the sheds of these species:
Argentine B/W Tegu
Savannah Monitor
Jackson Chameleon
Leopard Gecko
Columbian Red Tail Boa
Burmese Python
Madagascar Giant Day Gecko
Corn Snake
California King Snake
Black Throat Monitor
Frilled Dragon
Bearded Dragon
Crested Gecko
Mali Uromastyx
Earless Monitor
Rat Snake
Black Racer
Red Eared Slider
Western Hognose
Mississippi Mud Turtle
If you have any species not listed and are willing to donate shed, please let me know! Thank you!

I have shed from various scale genes of bearded dragons (leathers, standards, dunners, etc), some from a Dumerils boa, and a partial tail shed of an Aristelliger lar (largest new-world gecko, incredibly soft), I might also have some back shed of a Cordylus tropidosternum if you're still looking for some

Yes, that would be amazing! Thank you! Do you have a number where I can text you my address (and also get crediting info.)?

I wish, T-mobile has terrible service on our side of the hill, e-mail, facebook message, or anything that doesn't require cellular service works best

Ok cool :) When do you need them by? I can collect them (and label them) and contact you when I'm ready to send them

Any time is fine, there's no rush. And thank you for labeling! I like to give owner name, pet name, and species name for credit. Do you prefer email or text, so I can give you my address? And thanks again!!!
