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

    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.

Captive born baby Northern blue-tongue skinks (Tiliqua scincoides intermedia) now available for shipping. These were born June/July 2022.

Free pickup in Oakland, San Leandro, East Bay, etc.

Photo of the youngsters MO8 and SR8 plus Dad (two different litters)

Several litters available from very diverse stock from major breeders in the U.S. and unrelated Northerns from Europe. My main focus is on health and hardiness, genetic diversity, and striking colors -- in that order.

Happy to assist with care sheets and information on raising the babies. Babies are extremely hardy and reach adult size very quickly with good care. (I typically breed Northerns at 18-months of age.)

Photos include newborns and some of my breeders.

Babies start out rather dark but get more colorful with each shed. The parents usually indicate the adult colors of the offspring although there is a lot of diversity in patterns and color. I can not guarantee the sex of babies.

Babies are $275 SHIPPED to a local FedEx center, which is for safety. Babies are $250 when picked up in person.

I ship when it is safe and guarantee live & healthy arrival.

Please email me if you have any questions. Babies are in Northern California.

Please email me directly, and I can send information on shipping, care, etc.

I have photos of some of the adults and care sheets posted at:

Thank you.
