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

    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.

Hi all,
Im currently caring for a peach throat monitor in real nasty condition. She's a foster until I can find her a new, better home, so she will not be staying with me permanently. I work at a pet store and we got a call yesterday from a frantic landlord about a dinosaur in his basement. He evicted a man living there and the guy simply left this lil lady loose in his landlord's basement. She's been there since august 16, when the guy moved out. We contacted the previous owner and he want's nothing to do with her as he no longer has a stable living condition. He purchased her from us a few months back, and I had worked with her previously. The landlord threatened to kill her if we didnt help, so naturally, we went over to help. Fortunately, he also left behind his 75 gallon setup for her, so I have that. She's about 18-24" from snout to tail tip, and I am aware the 75 is a bit small for her, but this is what I'm working with right now.

TL/DR: some guy was evicted a month ago and left behind his peach throat monitor without any warning. She's been living in the basement since. Im fostering her until I can find her a proper home.

She has some nasty wounds on her back that I'm guessing are old burns due to her being forced to find heat. Theyre scabbed over and look borderline healed, but I've been letting her rest so I havent given her a good look-over. I have an iodine solution that I'll apply to her wounds when she's comfortable. Is there anything else I can do to assist in the healing?

Also, since shes been alone for a month, I dont believe she's had much to eat. I have a caloric supplement that I'll be feeding her with for now, since shes refused frozen feeders so far. Are there any foods I should try that may stimulate her appetite a bit? Im hoping to get a few quail eggs from local breeders. She's also dehydrated, so I've been giving her soaks every so often and I provide clean water for her every day. Any suggestions on rehydrating her?

Thanks in advance! She's a strong lil guy so I think she'll be able to fight for herself if properly nursed back to health. Any suggestions are welcome. Thank you!
