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

    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.

Hey everyone! Hi Tyler! I was going to post these pics like 3 days ago but I haven't even had the time to check my Mail. These are some Pictures of a 1.1 pair I got about 2 months ago. I also through in my Blizzard because I know how much people like her!

This is my Female a couple weeks after getting her.

This is her 3 days ago. She has lost her white band(that you can't see very well) and gained some Tang/CT.

This is the male after I got him. He has gained TONES of tang. but also some spots. They should go away when he stops breeding with his 4 ladies. ;) PIMP!

This is my Blizzard. I guess the only thing that has changed is she tripled her body weight. :)

Thanks alot RZ. She is a beast. Thats just what she will need when she starts laying. Here she is pounding the males face into the ground and about to kick him in the head with her back foot! ;)

Ahh, I love it! One of the best looking geckos in my opinion is a hefty/beastly carrot tail, nothing can look cooler to me... I just love it... I can't wait to get some SHTCT's... I have two male HTCT's coming in from Blazin tommorow, I am pumped up! Can't wait.. I will have to post some pictures.. (god I love your female)-RZ
 
Very nice Austin.....

I hate to say it, but I do not think those spots on that male are going away..... They are just alittle too dark and developed..... Some tangs do that as they mature depending on the blood line.....

Not that it even matters...... Those are some great looking leos dude.....
 
Nice oranges I would like to see that crossed into the blizz. Not the oranges, more so the CT. Let me know if you're going to let go of any het blizzards this year.
 
Thanks RZ and Gregg...ahwell, he must have done a deal with the Devil...taking some spots for even more Tang. ;)
