• Responding to email notices you receive.
    **************************************************
    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I have been placing adds on and off here on faunna for the last few weeks. During this time I have only recieved one email from adds placed here, and that was for photos, and no further correspondance after photos were sent. Now Im not niave enough to assume my animals should be sold, however I would have thought I would atleast have gotten a few bites soo to speadk. I used to have a kingsnake account, and would sell very well from there. After closing my business for a year and a half, I am slowly starting to sell a few animals here and there again. My question I guess would be this. Is the market very very bad right now for sales off the web, or is it this site. Does anyone sell from this site on a regular basis? Im not to cheap to buy a kingsnake account or anything, however Im not sure I need one. As such I thought this may be a good outlet to sell on, but it seems to be a waste of time to post classifieds here. Has anyone else wondered this? I do love the site, and have visited it for many years now. However it seems to me this site is basically used for one purpose and that is the BOI.

O well, just a long ramble, any opinions would be appreciated.

Mickey,

I believe it has to do with the market right now...I had a few animals for sale early this year and they sold right away...It seems as though bussiness is slacking alittle...The bad part is now is the best time of the year to ship reptiles...It's not to hot nor to cold...

Just my 0.02
 
It also depends what you are selling. The clientelle on this site have been keeping herps for a while (as a general view) so they are looking for either higher end or rarer items. KS seems to move the more common animals.

Last couple of weeks seemed to have been slow as well.
