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

    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 was just wondering if there are others that are working on projects for a new morph that you consider 'Top Secret'. I had an idea or two for some new morphs, but their really not so secret as I had asked about the possibilities, and really don't have the facilities to do any ground-shaking work with dozens of reptiles.
Have the most recent morphs to come out been started as a secret then only when established made public? Or is it pretty well known what people are trying to achieve?
Myself, and probably others have some head patterning projects, that's probably no big deal, but I had plans to someday line breed for a new color that'll never get off the blocks.
Even tho there are a lot of neat morphs, there can never be too many! Don't blow your secret here, just keep working them so we can buy your hatchlings when they prove! :D
 
Well, if it's not proven genetic, you can't really call it a new morph. ;) So generally while oddities are presented, no claims of having the next new morph are made. Things outside genetics (incubation variables for example) can influence a hatchling.

I'm not worried about keeping secrets so as far as genetic combos...

This year I hope to see Lava Diffused & Lava Pewters pipping noses. At least I have my fingers crossed that the pair of hets I have produce them this coming year. :) I don't think Lava Charcoals themselves would be too bad of a thing either. ;) I can't say I know of anyone that's produced those three combos as of yet.

I'm starting a Lava Stripe / Lavamel Stripe project in 2008. I'll have Amels het Lava Stripe to raise up to pair in three years. I think these have already been produced though (though not many exist).

I might have Charcoal & Blizzard Stripes next year depending upon how well my Amel het Charcoal Stripe grows over the next year. I know Charcoal Stripes exist (again, few in number), but I haven't seen anything of Blizzard Stripes yet. Along with this I am raising hets for both Phantom Motley & Phantom Stripe.

Then I think the last two projects that are in progress here are with the Fugly Stripe (suspected Keys Stripe) and a Z Stripe project.

All in all, I'll be raising a lot of hets over the next few years! ;)
 
Hopefully i'll be starting a golddust lavender motley project soon. :thumbsup:

As a partner with Stef in these two projects, I wish us luck. ;)

I have lots of secret projects going, but if I posted them, I'd have to kill you all. I'll be raising lots and lots of hets myself in coming years.
 
Small inconsequiental projects I will mention, others I will not one bit... Just got to check my page in the up and coming breeding seasons..

Regards... Tim of T and J
