Okay well it’s obvious that you pick sides otherwise you’d acknowledge this seller is being childish whether the sickly frilled was his fault or not.

Posted 12/19/2024.
=====================
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.

Just do it now? I don’t know either of them. My brothers not named Mitch or David so go ahead?

Yes, I know how vets work, as I go to one of mine (you know incase one doesn't have an opening as soon as another) at first signs of problems. Because, surely you know, that by the time a reptile shows "full signs" of and ailment it has usually fully spread through out them. That is why you don't wait to make sure. I'd rather spend money on an unneeded exams then to have to pay for treatment on an animal that went untreated and got worse or perished. You spent "over a rack"($1000) for the animal but get tight with the money when its health/life are at risk?
Home remedies can work if you know what your doing and act fast. Waiting two weeks to start a home remedy you've never tried before isn't going to fair well.
So if he never responded back you would never have gone to the vet? What does his response time have to do with you waiting to see a vet?

Oh brother and you really have no life reporting me as a duplicate account. This isn’t a duplicate account I simply no longer have access to my previous one... I’m not running on two separate accounts. You’re one miserable person....

I didn’t wait two weeks. I waited one week because I wasn’t sure if it was actually sick or not and you’re supposed to let an animal adapt to its new enclosure. . By the end of the first week it was obvious. Still slight symptoms but I knew something was wrong. After the first week I tried treating it myself before he even responded. Then he responded, recommended home remedies, attempted them for 2 more weeks and he wasn’t progressing.
You’re obviously not reading everything I said and only nit picking bits and pieces to help the opposing side.

And again, I wasn’t sure whether it was sick or not because just a mouth gape wasn’t enough for me to be certain he had RI and wasn’t just releasing heat like you see beardies do in order to cool off.
Far more serious is the concept that due to your neglect in seeking timely proper care as the situation worsened, the sickly critter is your fault.

Seems like MOC did nothing wrong, should have cared for it correctly

You all don’t read. Husbandry was 100% on point, by the time I realized something was wrong I tried treating it on my own, by the time MOC replied 2 weeks later he recommended I treat it on my own, but by then i had already begun treatment and it wasn’t bettering so I started booking an appointment.
My husbandry was never wrong so how is it my fault the animal was sickly.
It arrived sick.

It’s husbandry was correct? How was I improperly caring for it.

You were there, and you keep on saying you weren't sure that it was sick. Then you tried home made concoctions. For all we know, since you say you had family issues and were working 7 days a week you cared for the critter incorrectly.
You did say you put off the vet visit because you did not want to pay for vet care until you thought it was really sick, so obviously you did not think it was sick until it went to the vet. By your own posts, there is no proof it arrived sick.

Throughout this thread you have posted about waiting to hear from MOC. MOC does not need to give you permission to take your critter to the vet, especially a month after the sale, especially after there seems to be no proof that the critter arrived sick.

And I wasn’t sure it was sick at first because I didn’t know how to spot signs. Now that I’ve been educated on how to spot the signs, I’m certain it arrived sick because I remember those signs.

O I've read everything, its just confusing as you didn't give full details in your opening posts and the rest is very hard to follow as you seem to be adding more details to the time line as it goes on making info hard to keep straight. Didn't realize you had tried home remedies prior to Francesco's suggestions. Who told you to use rot guard and up the temps? Did you do this on your own? What home remedies did you add once Francesco mentioned some, what ones did you take away. I also said if you know what you're doing. "I wasn’t experienced with dealing with sickly animals so it took about 2 weeks before I saw the problems worsening and took him to a vet."
So correct me if I'm wrong but the actual time line goes something like:
week 1: FD arrives, you notice mouth gape, but someone told you "aussie frilleds do this more frequently than the NG" so your not concerned. Then you later say, " he looked good at the time but didn’t pull him apart looking him up and down like I should’ve because I assumed he was in good health!"
and even later you say "Like I said he was mouth gaping and mucus was prevalent first day."
So which is it?
"I was sure something was wrong after the first week of having the lizard.
"I wasn’t experienced with dealing with sickly animals so it took about 2 weeks before I saw the problems worsening and took him to a vet."
"Incorrect. 5 weeks after I received a follow up exam and the antibiotics I needed. Not when I diagnosed him or first took him to the vet. I was sure something was wrong after one week, over the next week tried treating it on my own, and by the beginning of the third week I saw that the “rot guard” that I had been trying as well as increasing the heat to make an artificial fever both had not worked, so I knew it was time to make a vet visit. And they had no openings I’d be available for until later on. By this point you were still ignoring my messages."
So like I said you're
on your own.Your confusing bias with taking sides. We're allowed to take sides on this as to what's right and wrong as we see it. Unbiased people making a decisions on evidence provided. Your getting upset as most here don't see it the way you do. That doesn't make us biased towards Francesco or you.

So are you gonna claim I made all these fake accounts? This is off of your own “public harassment” post of me. You have the advantage of it with only your followers/likes being able to see it yet you’re still getting negative feedback because you’re attracting it with negative energy.

Can you prove you it was correct? I couldn't tell you the number of times I've been told "husbandry is correct, couldn't possibly be that." Guess what majority of the time it wasn't. Someone claiming it's correct isn't enough evidence for me anymore.
