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

    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.

Paul,they all look great. I'd have to say that Gem snow is pretty damn COOL!
 
Thanks Jeremy and Josh! That snow is from a Gem x Gem breeding...no solid black eyes yet (if there may be such a thing for this line), but after hatching a few more from the same pair maybe a "super" form will pop up. Either way, it's very ghostly looking. The male I got from Jim is certainly strange looking. He looks like he's always about to shed.
 
Paul, they all look Great. I Love the Gem Snow, keep us posted on the Gem Snow x Gem Snow breedings, I can't wait to see what happens with that. Congrats!
 
Wow Paul, they are all stunning. That redstripe is awesome! I love all of the hatchlings in that first pic. That jungle snow is also a killer! I have to be the worst sucker for sweet trempers ever, because I love them all! Keep it up Paul and thanks for posting
 
Pass the Box of LEOS, PLEASE!!!!

Great looking babies you've got over there!
 
Wow, I like all of them Paul! That Gem Snow is just awesome! Be sure and keep us posted if you hatch a "super" from that line, I'm keeping my fingers crossed!
 
Wow!! That Jungle gem snow is a real beauty. Im a sucker for snows. Not fair I want, but dont have enough money. grrrrr. lol. Good job with all of them though. :p
 
lol, I am also, a sucker for snows :) Very nice Gem. All the trempers are beautiful too! However, I struck me by surprise, your working with bold stripes eh? :)
 
Wow Paaul, that Gem Snow is cool, as are all the others, Love that last Red Stripe/Patternless Stripe :)
 
I must have missed something while I was gone...what's the Story on the Gem snows?
 
I want a box of your lovely baby leos too!! All of them are beautiful!
 
Thanks everyone!

Kind of still an experiment Shanti...but, then again, not really. Check out Jim's info at http://www.reptiliangems.com/photo.html . I've talked with Jim a lot about the genetics...he's much more knowledgeable than I am about it all. They appear and act (genetically) very similar to Mack Snows, but Jim is pretty sure they are not Macks. They are not line bred snows. Breed one to anything else and you get some normals and some snows. Jim researched it and calls it an incomplete dominant gene...again, I'm pretty clueless. I just think they are cool. :) I do plan on crossing some Gem x Macks a little later this season. I think a few others are ahead of me on that. Here's another picture of my male...he always looks like he's just about to shed:
