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

    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.

im selling my still air incubator, ive had alot of success with this incubator! but im making a new fridge incubator, so my original incubator has to go to someone who will put it to awesome use! it comes with a mini thermometer and you can fit about 2-4 clutches in this incubator, depending on size of clutches. It has 2 plastic see through windows so you can see the clutch of eggs in progress :thumbsup:

im selling it for $70 Shipped
or trade for a normal female adult/sub adult ball python. If its a morph, i might be willing to add a little cash.

simply pm me or respond to this thread :)


thanks!

i MAY be extremely interested in this incubator. I have a threesome of crested geckos and one of the females is gravid, and the other might be, and also just bought a pair of jungle giant leos (but better), and a pair of blizzard and albino raptor (but better) leos, and they are egg laying machines, so therefor I need a reliable incubator STAT! Will you take offers???
 
Let me get back to you by tomorrow (or so), maybe sooner. Do YOU just place the clutches in deli cups, or what was your method? For what reptiles? Also, would you take $60 shipped?
 
AND What do you think of my leos I just bought? Without pictures its hard to judge, I know, but I have one male Jungle giant (maybe super giant) het r.a.p.t.o.r. at 120 grams, one female jungle giant albino het r.a.p.t.o.r. at 100grams, a female jungle albino het r.a.p.t.o.r. maybe 65-70 grams (that needs to get fat), and a female eclipse het r.a.p.t.o.r. (super snow morph) that is maybe 65 grams. What do ya think? I'll post pics later.
 
That sounds like a gecko breeding paradise!
If they are giants, that's a huge gain!


And buuump!!

Taking offers, need it gone asap
 
With all respect, David, this is not the place for such sideline conversation...please take it to PM or the discussion forum.
 
Sorry hhmoore

I won't do it anymore. I do have respect for you if you have respect for me, don't get me wrong, but you seemed a little angry.
