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

    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 thought I had an adoptive mother lined up for a Uro that we rescued over the Summer. You can see the entire story, including an update photo taken this morning at this link:

http://repticzone.com/forums/Uromast...s/2227104.html

She/he is a Mali, from what I can tell and from the opinion of others. I have no idea how old she is, and the man I rescued her from had no idea either. I measured her a while back, and she appears to be the size of an adult. She is still recovering, but she is doing so much better than she was when I took her in. She is currently still in her 90 gallon tank. A 4 x 2 x 2 (125 gallon tank) at the least is recommended for Uros. She is currently only utilizing the warm-hot end of the tank she is in, but as she continues her recovery may start using the extra space.

Terms for this Uro:

1. The Uro itself is free to a good home. You pay only shipping costs or pick up in Claremore if local. I accept PayPal only, or cash if local.

2. Due to her history, this Uro comes with no guarantee. However, she is doing really good right now considering her past. If she is cared for properly, she will continue her uphill battle...it may be a long one.

3. You must read over Urowiki and prove to me that you are prepared to keep her under the proper conditions at all times (or that you have experience caring for these animals properly). You must show proof of having the proper UVB lighting, heating, housing, etc. and that you are willing to keep her on a healthy diet of the listed Urowiki listed staples.

4. You must agree to never breed this animal. It has been through to much to be put through the breeding process.

I also have a plain adult Egyptian Uro that I picked up about a month ago. Supposedly a male. He is healthy, but I had to take him too because he was not under the proper conditions and would not have remained healthy for long had I left him. I will take $30 for him (that is what I paid and I am not trying to make any money off of him...it's a good price for those of you who know about Uros) + shipping. Terms 2 (there is no guarantee) and 3 apply to this animal as well. PM me with an e mail address for photos, and/or send an application for adoption to [email protected].

The same person who was supposed to adopt the first Uro was supposed to take in the second as well. I have not heard from her in about a month. My husband and I are preparing to breed Kings, Milks and Cresties in the Spring, and I would like to be able to divide my large tanks up to put my Crestie babies in. I will likely breed Uros in the future as well, but I need to purchase more tanks before we get into all of that.

Thank you for your time.

I keep trying to delete this post but for some reason there is no option to edit it or anything that I can see.

The Egyptian Uro is gone. The Mali is still here for now, but the local lady who took the Egyptian is probably going to take the Mali too.
