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

    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.

Male Savanna Monitor available for adoption.
Must prove knowledge and commitment.
Serious inquirys only please.
You pay for shipping.
We live in Montana

My interest changed about a year ago towards a preference for snakes. I have limited time and especially limited space. I have juvenile snakes coming up that will need larger enclosures soon. I want to allot the limited space to them as I plan on breeding next spring.

I have had him since he was a squat, plump hatchling 03.29.04
Came in weighing 29 grams
Weighs 1.3 KG today. 14" SVL His tail is intact.

Aggressive appetite.
I feed mice, quail chicks, dog/cat food, raw beef/lamb.
Fed dusted insects when small. I use Parazap.

Has been wormed with Panacur and Flagyl.

UVB: originally via florescent bulbs. Mercury Vapor for the past 3 months. Unfiltered sunlight for portions of some days in the summer.

Temperament: insecure. Hisses and tries to escape. Not inclined to lunge and bite. Needs handling to calm him down. He has been on a harness--always whenever outside.

Corey, I need to know a few things.

What kind of set up do you have and is it ready?
Outline the husbandry.
Do you own or rent?
Are you able to pay the shipping, I doubt it will be less than $50?
Where do you live?
 
hey, my name is Matt, am willing to adopt your Sav monitor, i have a baby savannah monitor, a nile monitor, and a large iguana. but these animals are the ones that i own, i work at www.partypets.com where we have over 250 different reptiles, including a couple savannah monitors, so i do have experience with these animals. i breed my own mice, and i can get any medicine nessesary to cure any kind of health issue that the monitor might have. am also willing to pay the $50 for the shipping, please consider me for adoption, the savanna will go to a good home with me, i would send you updates of him as often as you ask for. you can check out the website of the place i work at www.partypets.com, please email me with an answer at [email protected] thank you.
 
Matt, I sent you an email.

I have had some responses, most sounded very interested. But, when given the shipping quote I never heard from any of these people again. As stated in my initial post, shipping is to be paid by the adopting party.

A change in circumstances has made it necessary that I winnow down my "dependent" load. I want him to have a good home. I am not looking to make any money.
 
Any takers on him ?
if not .. a shot in the dark .. but can you ship to Canada . .I have 6 sav's currently included in that is a breeding pair .. I have had most of my sav's for well over a year.

probably cant ship to Canada but never hurts to ask right ..
