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

    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.

Hey so I'm purchasing a Senegal chameleon from this guy including its full set up and he's assured me it isn't wild caught and it's parasite free and it's healthy now I've been doing some research and there's very little on Senegals I've read that graceful as and flapnecks are very similar in care is this true? Also if anyone does know things about senegals would you say there hardy chams? Also there's some photos the setup and the cham how does everything look in your opinion and I've read the red light is more of a hinderence to most reptiles so I will be replacing that

While, I am not personally familiar with Chamaeleo dilepis, I believe most are indeed W.C. But, I could be completely wrong. Your set up looks very nice. However, again, I am NOT familiar with Chamaeleo dilepis overall. But, that is a set-up I have used for other Chamaeleo species.

I am going to be posting some links for you to look at: http://www.reptilesmagazine.com/Care-Sheets/Flap-Neck-Chameleon/ and http://www.reptilesmagazine.com/Advanced-Chameleon-Keepers-Only/ .

Sorry, I could not be more helpful. Hopefully, someone with more hands on experience can chime in.
 
I do not know much about Chameleons but I do know a bit about figuring out wether an animal is captive bred or wild caught. Generally wild caught animals are less expensive than captive bred and have slightly different appearances than that of C.B. Now, even if an animal is wild caught it may still be perfectly healthy and just fine. So if a deal seems to good to be true, then it probably isn't.
