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

    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.

3.1 Rhacophorus helenae
Long Term Captive from Vietnam. Came in as part of a large shipment in July 2014. These frogs do not ship well as adults so they are for pick up only near Fenton MI. Will drive to meet within a reasonable distance. These frogs are extremely healthy and have been cycled through the dry season. Will only sell as a group to someone with experience with upper canopy frogs who intends to make a breeding attempt. ready for increased temps and heavy feeding followed by rain chamber and hopefully will lay a large clutch. This is a strictly upper canopy species that never decends to ground level and will not even use a water bowl. They must be provided with a large enclosure that provides air flow, moisture and food in the upper half of the tank. We have house them with a screen canopy on top of a pvc tank approximately 24in x 30in x 72in high with the upper 36in being the screen canopy section with portions covered with plastic to keep in some humidity. This is an extremely rare opportunity to get healthy, established animals of a very rare species. All the hard work is already done. Wild caught specimens of this genus, especially females, are very difficult to establish and most die within weeks of arrival. We treated them for parasites, bacteria and fungus on arrival.

$600 for the group FIRM. I have much more than this invested in the project to get it to this point. Just want them to go to an experienced keeper that will take it the rest of the way. With all our other projects we just need to down size our breeding projects right now.

Can purchase their tank for an additional $200. Tank is not extensively planted as many plants don't survive well during the drying period and it does not have hinges or latches installed in the canopy but is rather held shut with zip ties. The structure is however perfect for them and just a couple cheap hinges, latches and plants would finish it off nicely. Has done the job for us for the last 6 months.

3.1 Phyllomedusa tomopterna
Long term captive from Surinam. Been in our care since July 2014. They have also been cycled through the dry season and are ready for heavy feeding and an attempt in the rain chamber. This group is available for shipping or can be picked up near Fenton MI. Will drive to meet within a reasonable distance.
$300 for the group. Shipping available for an additional charge

3.2 Phyllomedusa hypochondrialis
Long term captives from Surinam. These guys have been with us since March 2013 and have given us many clutches. They are established to the point now that they will breed without a rain chamber. Simply dry them and then increase the humidity with a spray bottle and blocking the ventilation and you will almost certainly get eggs. They have been kept dry for the last few months so should be ready to breed again with a couple weeks of heavy feeding followed by increased humidity.
$250 for the group Shipping available for an additional charge
