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

    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 decided to give lobster roaches a try, and ordered from Reptayls. They have a great sale posted on KS classifieds and my order arrived with no problems. There were even some extra items thrown in that I wasn't expecting! Thank you Reptayls! Great service!

Reptayls, Ltd - A+ transaction

I just wanted to take a few moments to commend Reptayls, Ltd in general, but most notably, Morgana. I made the choice to start a small colony of Lobster roaches and noticed an ad they had placed. My initial inquiry was responded to in a detailed manner and was even suggested to purchase a smaller, and less costly, amount due to my current desires for the feeders. I ended up purchasing 1000+ and some gutload. But I failed to judge the fact that the Vaseline around the edges of the enclosure would melt and slide down the walls when offering the optimum temperatures for the roaches. I sent a response to Morgana about my situation, but had to respond from work as my home PC acquired a virus and was in the process of being cleaned. My work PC has firewalls that do not allow access to PayPal, but WITHOUT ASKING Reptayls sent 2oz of BugBoundary and stated they would wait on payment. I paid promptly once I could gain access to do so, but I received the BugBoundary the day I was able to pay meaning they sent out two days earlier! They do not know me and even though it was a small amount of money, had no guarantees of receiving payment. I know I have sold several animals in the past and spent excessive time attempting to receive payment but try to keep trusting individuals and Morgana seems to agree. This is all on top of the fact that I researched all sites and they have the best prices on roaches, BugBoundary and gutload. I plan to do business with them again in the future and would recommend others to do the same.

Thanks for taking the time to read through this.

Morgana and Her husband Yosemite are great people. I have known them for more than a couple of years and we have done buisness with each other many times. They are ones that I have never had a problem with and never would expect to either. I have sent many shipments to them prior to payment being sent as they are super trustworthy folks and are a great asset to the reptile community. Whether it is their Chameleons, Cockroaches, or anything else they sell, you can purchase with confidence that you will be treated as you should be treated.
 
Reptayls

YES,YES,AND YES Reptayls are some of the most Awesome people I have met in the herp world..

The very best in the business!!!

I am a repeat customer and could go on and on about how great their customer service, quaility, and professionalism is, but it would take all night! I will say they have the BEST prices on the net and I will continue to buy feeder roaches from them. Morgana is super nice and very quick with sending out roaches wit special requests. Customer service is number one! Thanks for all you do!

I think this is my 3rd or 4th time ordering from Reptayls, I have ordered bug bounty, roach coach, and Lobster roaches, and I can't get over their product quality and customer service..AWESOME...and they even sent me some free Thirst quencher to check out...Give them a try, you will NEVER be disappointed.
 
Happy to add to this thread

I am so pleased with the level of customer service and quality of product I received from Reptayls.

I ordered a small quantity of hissers for my classroom. Morgana went above and beyond in completing this transaction, including: meeting my request for a special order; gently checking with me to ensure that I knew how to care for them properly; sharing my enthusiasm for the "great classroom pet" quality that hissers have; and generally being professional, personable, and reliable.

The hissers arrived on schedule, packed beautifully, and are excellent specimens.

A+ indeed goes out to Reptayls.

Thank you, Morgana!

I recently completed a transaction with Reptayls and I couldn't be happier. Everything arrived perfectly packaged and in perfect condition. Shipping was lightning fast, communication was perfect and the level of customer service was top notch.

I will be ordering from Reptayls again in the future. :)
 
Yes Morgana is WONDERFUL to deal with. I have truly been 100% happy with every transaction and have truly enjoyed getting to BS with her a bit during our deals. Truly great people!!!
 
This last summer Reptayls helped me set up a lobster roach colony for my lizards. They were great to deal with. It was nice to be able to buy everything I needed (besides the cage) in a package. My roaches are doing very well and I have since ordered food and egg flats from them and these transactions were just as smooth as the first. Reptayls will be my permanent roach people. :thumbsup:
