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

    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.

It was pretty nice out today, would have been better if it wasn't so HOT.

My husband took a few pictures for me. Would have gotten more, but almost everyone was in shed. =/

Here is a weird looking Mojave that we hatched out late last season. She is also pictured with "Tweedle" for a comparison.

Have you seen the Albino Lessers! :spinner03 Talk about amazing.
Tweedle is however not for sale, her sister is though.

I LOVE the Super Paint / Super Sentinel projects. Unfortunately I am not working with either.
All I can really say at this point is she is a Cinnamon Cross. I am still working on figuring the other genes out.

Thank you all. I am really proud of those two Mojaves. I can't wait to see what they look like when they are 800grams plus.

Black pastel maybe? What was the pairing that Seven came from?

Andrew is correct. I am not revealing any information on Seven, except for the fact that she is a Cinnamon cross. Until I know what all is going on with her genetically that is all feel comfortable with sharing.
 
All of those pictures are amazing! You do great photography. I wish more had been out of shed!

Love love love that first Mojave! And the Cinnamon mystery snake is saaawweeeet! Looks like she has Tengwar written on her!

Thanks! As soon as the others shed, I'm going to have Andrew get more pictures! I'm really excited for some new shots of our Fire male.
