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

    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.

Hey everyone. I have been unlucky in finding a good enclosure for a bearded dragon. I originally was getting a critter condo cage but my local distributor is having trouble getting a new shipment. I've looked around online but everything is so pricey. I don't want an exoterra or glass aquarium. I"m thinking of building something melamine or PVC. I have a carpenter that can help me on this project if thats the route I need to take. Any advice out there?
 
O let me guess chris allen =x me and you both man i also needed another and his shipments are delayed right now so he is going to give me a black one if he don't get a shipment since we had a deal,tho i really wanted a maghony again.

custom cages looks nice but a tad pricey =/ if you build your own itll be cheap
 
Yep your right. Was really trying to get this cage before end of summer but it didn't work out. I might just have to speak to Chris about helping me figure out what I need to make one. Don't you have a few already from him also. I've seen them on your you tube page.
 
i have only one maghony the white one i sold due to it not looking good with the living room area,i also got custom stand and thought id fit anothe enclosure on the bottom.so i guess ill do that with the black he is givingme
 
yea best to do that unless he gets some shipments in =/ i am going to wait a little tho and see what happens

Click to expand...

you must have been the guy he was coming out to nyc to do the delivery to?he was going to drop mines off at the same time.
 
sucks man well hopefully something comes up for you,lucky for me i got the option of a black one personally from chris as we had a deal but i rather a maghony due to the area i am putting it in.

if you get it done please post pics if it comes out nice maybe i can consider getting one done with the maghony color i wanted instead of having to settle for the black.
 
Yeah you are lucky you have one coming. If you really decide the black doesn't work out keep me posted. Maybe I'll take it off your hands. Until we hear anything new I will start looking into getting my parts
 
well this s what i am trying to do i really don't want to settle for black so i am trying to find someone going to fl and coming back to nyc or vice versa to get me a maghony condo from dragon tails and ill spot them 100-150 for delivery

my girl is suppose to have family coming so if they do i might get lucky if not have to find another person
 
i ordered the maghony went to fairy tail dragons in fl,went to us ship and have someone whos going to fl and back to nyc delivery charge was 185.00

if u want i can ask the guy how much he will charge to bring it to you since hes on his way and u buy the cage from her i paid 170.00 for the cage 3x2x18
 
just read your message. Can you ask for me please, or is it too late? I'm really trying to avoid having to build one
 
Finally got my critter condoz 4x2 enclosure. Thanks to Rud3bwoy for helping get one from Fairytail dragons in Florida. We got a delivery service that was pretty cheap to bring up both our cages to NYC.
Now I need to find a stand.
