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

    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.

    Artificial Insemination?

    Here's a thought for you. A very good friend and client of mine runs a state of the art veterinary clinic. He specializes in various laser surgeries but also in artificial inseminations. He is having a few of my animals over for a professional photo party here soon (he is showcasing at his...

    My new salmontine

    Just received her yesterday. 23lbs of pure red! I can't wait to get her bred this year to see the coloration of her offspring. I attached one of her offspring from this past season when she was bred by a het sharp male. Mom is 75% Argentine which would make this baby 50% Argentine and look...

    Chris Anthony, [email protected], complete deadbeat

    I had a fairly expensive body striped boa out for sale on Kingsnake a few weeks back. Chris Anthony calls me up and we proceed to have a conversation for approximately 30 minutes or so. He informs me that he is very interested in her and would get back with me shortly as to whether he wants to...

    50 Caliber Maadi Griffin for sale/trade

    I have owned this gun for 2 years or so and have yet to shoot it. It's quite the beast and was purchased from a fellow ar15.com member. It spent much of it's life in service for a local Indiana police force and is fully numbered. It's in excellent condition all around and is ready to be used. It...

    Brendan Magee, any recent information?

    Any recent information regarding Brendan Magee? Good, bad, indifferent? I searched the BOI and found some information that was a few years old but wanted to hear of recent transactions. I also have not found any website information on him. Thanks! Griz

    Who's going to send me some Blue Bell?

    Ok, I keep hearing about this Blue Bell Ice Cream and it's killing me. I guess you can say I am a bit of an addict and am always looking for new tastes. I researched the brand and it sounds great but they don't offer it in Illinois. So, which one of you is going to make my day? :) Griz

    Het T+ Argentine

    Ok guys, got a quick genetic question for you. A 100% het T+ argentine bred to a normal argentine produces what? Are the babies 100% hets? I was not sure if the T+ gene operated any differently then a typical recessive gene does. Thoughts? Griz

    How would you ship this?

    Quick question for you. I am shipping off an adult hypo to Hollywood, Florida tomorrow. The temps at both locations will be in the upper 80's. I have NEVER shipped in the heat before. The buyer has requested that I put a cool pack in with the box. Here's where I show my ignorance. Does he...

    Provent-a-mite....

    Well, this weekend proved to be quite interesting at our household. Quite a number of months back, I received 2 females into my collection that had mites. I quarantined them and treated with the very expensive Provent-a-mite. As is typical when using this stuff, the treatment went well and...

    What is this?

    This was given to me by an ex Navy Seals buddy of mine. He really had no clue about husbandry and knew it so he gave it to me. I assume this is a corn but what morph (if any) is it? Griz

    What would you do?

    I hate posting this here as it shows I make mistakes but I could really use your guy's input on a situation. I sold an albino and 2 dh sunglows to an individual. Upon arrival (you will remember my last post on this), one of the babies somehow had it's tail kinked at the very tip. Not enough...

    Genetic question....

    My mind is playing tricks on me. If you breed a kahl albino male to a hypo female will you produce dh sunglows? Or would the hypos be 50 percent hets?

    Tail kink and breeding.....

    One of my buyers accepted delivery today of the animals he purchased from me. They arrived safely but one of the animals, according to the buyer, has a tail kink at the very end of his tail (no where near the vent). I had checked my animals out very thoroughly and never noticed any kinks etc...
