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

    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.

    The legacy of Nitro lives On!

    These were all produced from Nitro this year. I can hardly wait to breed this group. Going to be my most exciting year yet. Only thing is I have never had large clutches from first time females. Might even have to wait on some of these. Would hate to limit their overall growth.

    Hypo Holdback ??

    Yep a holdback thats not a Super Hypo, imagine that. LOL! I actually think he may go super. This guy has a really burnt orange coloration sometimes.

    Interesting Spot

    Just a neat looking spot on this one. Thought I had heard someone post something about it similiar but I couldn't find the thread. The spot shows up really well because its beneath that lateral line that leopards have where their white belly starts.

    Arc and Fusion. Possible pairing.

    Just thinking of possibilities with these two. I am debating on putting these two together. Although I am not certain I am leaning strongly towards it. The other option would be to give Fusion to one of her brothers. Still not sure. Suggestions and opinions welcomed!

    Brothers! Strangest thing!

    I still can't get over that these guys have the same father. What a trip! I was trying to explain to my wife, and she's like "I don't really get it." LOL! Oh well I think its the neatest thing! The father of these two passes that carrot tail to alot of his offspring. One of the female Bells has...

    Really Cool Similiarities!

    Really Cool Similarites! This is a little Bell albino female I hatched last month. She is doing great and is actually alot more tangerine than the pic shows. What donned on me today is she has some of the same characteristics that my tangerine rainwater has that I hatched out this year as well...

    Beautiful Ground Snake.

    I live in El Paso Texas. While recently fighting a small brush fire in somewhat the middle of a section of town I came across this stunning snake. There is a good group of them living in a microhabitat/drainage ditch. I was astounded at its coloration as well as its location! What a diverse...

    From the same Parents that Produced Nitro

    Hopefully they have done it again. This little one is the result of the pair that produced Nitro. This one's around a month old.

    This Girl reminds me of the Creamsicle Ice Cream.

    I just can't stop staring at this one for some reason. I like the way there are several different colors going on here. This is Fusions's Sister. Makes me crave some orange sherbert or something. The second pic is of my Tang rainwater I trip out on him as well.(No I wasn't old enough for...

    Is it that CONTRAVERSIAL??

    How many "Giants" were available at Daytona? I am honestly considering purchasing a couple!
  20. B

    For all you Daytona attendees.

    I had heard someon mention seeing some Giant albinos. I am curious to know how many were available? I would expect there should have been quite a few of them. Especially with a simple recessive and all.:D
