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

    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 know how you feel! Just sit tight and think about how great it'll be once everything gets started. :)

You can display watermarks (the copyright mark or so on) by using photo editing programs. Photoshop is widely used, Gimp is free version of Photoshop and OpenCanvas is a pretty cheap program. Ill pm you some other programs.

she was a import babe from Africa and yea the blush remind me to pastel but light brown colors in a box of 700 import babes from Africa you can see her been different from the others plus the white flames on the belly (that she still have it)

Even if she turns out to be a fluke normal shes gorgeous and im jealous of her flames!
 
This is my first year breeding. So far i have 11 eggs from an albino x normal pairing. I have a female building follicles from a cinnamon x normal pairing. And 2 other females breeding the same albino and cinnamon males. I am hoping to have my female spider up to weight before spring and looking to next year for my het albino female and my het pied female. maybe i can make enough change this season to affored that male pied i so desperately need.

Wow Shiffy! Thats a big list! I hope you get all your wishes, or at least half.
You must have a load of snakes to feed too. I would love to see those snowballs.
They would sure be a feat right?
 
lol yeah a lot of mouths to feed and a lot of cages to clean, 62 snakes to be exact, lol. Just went on a 6hour cleaning/ water bowl changing spree :ack2: i've got about 40 leopard geckos too and i cleaned them as well. I'll be honest w/ you my odds on the snowball aren't that great but it would be awsome! male Albino het Jolliff axanthic X het jolliff axanthic het albino, so i won't hold my breath for everything to line up perfect but i do have a chance, besides i should still atleast get some jolliff axanthics and albino's out that deal! I can keep my fingers crossed though :D
