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

    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 came back from a camping trip and was doing my snake cages when i found 3 slugs eggs on top of the bedding and found 2 whole yellowish, hard, and dimpled eggs under the bedding. i left the 2 were they were. these are the first eggs that i have ever found and don't know what to do? i could see veins through the eggs and didn't know if they were still good or not. please any advice.
 
If the eggs are an ivory white color, there is a good chance they are good. However, if the eggs are more yellowish, they are likely not fertilized. If you are not sure, you might as well set them up just in case. A good simple incubation medium is ~50% water and ~50% vermiculite. Basically you want the medium to be damp but not dripping wet. If you do a search here there are a few good threads on how to incubate eggs (it is similar for most species except for incubation temperatures).
 
Id say set em up you never know! I hatched some king eggs for my first time last yr & was preaty stoked on it! I had only hatched beardie eggs up until the king eggs & the eggs were in horible shape! Hard & dehydrated got them in perlite acouple days after they were laid & they hatched acouple months later & out of 9 eggs 7 babyies hatched. was preaty cool to see something ealse besides a beardie work its way out of an egg!
 
Yes it may be worth the chance to set them up,but if they are yellow don't be disappointed if they don't hatch.Best and most simplistic way to set up your eggs is with vermiculite.Get shoebox drill some small holes along the sides toward the top of the box,nail hole size,fill box 3/4 with vermiculite then moisten vermic with water until wet not soaked make sure you have the lid to the box,pick up the eggs without rollong them in any way set them straight back down in the vermic the same way you picked them up,stick them 3/4 of the way down in the vermic,cover with the lid,keep @ 82-85 degrees for 54-62 days average and if they are fertile you should have babies! any futher info call(772-240-3456) ask for george
