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

    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.

Check this spiny tail out he has great colors.
He is pretty tame but too fast to be let off the leash out side.
His number one treat is super worms!
 
Well I am glad to see it!! Now that makes two of us that know for a fact that the spinytail iguanas do infact get tame!! I have posted this on other sites about how tame they get. This is one of the reasons I say you cannot believe everything you read. Everything I have read says that they are not good pets and are not able to tame, which is not even close to the truth. The one in my avatar is also tame as a dog. It just makes me wonder where they get their information. Or are they just getting their ideas from others that don't have a clue when they wrote about them to start with. There are many things I have seen in books that are far from the truth. I read books and weigh them with a grain of salt. You think just because it is in a book, that it is true, but sometimes it is far from the facts. Just keep in mind everyone can write a book, but there is a big difference in the so called facts written in some books and years of experience.
 
exactly!

Spinys even live in a group ok.
I have a trio 2 males one female.
Mine were wc as a babies and they are nice and tame letting you pet them or hand feed them the female laid slugs last year but they are older now
fingers crossed she will lay viable egss this time.
people that cannot tame a spiny have not tried too hard or the lizard was too old to agust to captive lfe.
:bolt01:
Here is a pic of him talkin smack or hissing he does it now and then.

Cool looking spiny!!! Here are some pictures of the tame male I had for a long time. You can tell by the pics just how mean he was!
 
To tell you the truth, he was a rescue from a pet shop. So I know nothing of his background. They had him in a 20 tall tank with baby spinich to eat. I just could not stand to leave him there. I had them thoughts going through my mind of seeing him a few weeks later in real poor condition. He was an adult as seen in these pictures as well. I just had to get him out of there.
