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

    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 recently stumbled onto Fauna not knowing this site exsisted and seen some beautiful dragons posted by a man by " ED CLARK" i must say his dragons are amazing and i would recommend him to anybody who is looking for strong genetics in there bearded dragon.

ED CLARK == A+++++ with me folks

also he replies in a timly fashion to emails and all, great breeder and person.
 
Ed has a bad rap for whatever reason. I actually have been given negative Karma for suggesting him. But none the less he is a awesome breeder and has completely beautiful and healthy dragons. I consider him a very positive breeder and he deserves all the good guy cred he can get.
 
Pete, I hope you and your girl friend are enjoying the baby beardie. you know how to reach me if you need any help at all.:)

Brian, thank you for the nice comments.
 
I have never personally purchased anything from Ed Clark, but I did inquire about a boa and he was quick to answer, told me some things I didn't know and was overall helpful in me finding exactly what I wanted.

Thanks ed she is becoming so beautiful as the days and sheds go by

thank you for all your help and everything you have done for us

ED CLARK HAS GREAT BABYS PEOPLE AND HE IS A GOOD BREEDER AND SELLER IN MY EYES

A++++ ALL THE WAY

IF YOUR LOOKING FOR RED CHECK OUT WHAT HE HAS SOME GORGEOUS BABIES FOR GREAT PRICES

IN THE NEAR FUTURE I M GOING TO BUY SOME MORE
 
i'm not sure why he gets a rap honestly. I know that when i decide to get a dragon it will be one of Ed's. my wife isn't even into lizards at all, but she saw a pic of one of ed's beardies, it was very bright blue and she made me promise to get her one of them someday.

Have fun learning.
 
it would seem you have a personal problem with ed cause im sure that took a minute or two to dredge up. i have seen those posts and they arent new. none of them deal with dragons either.

Multiple people seemed to indicate that they didn't understand why Ed had a negative reputation. I figured I'd answer those questions.

It did take about a minute total, maybe a bit less... forty seconds maybe. It was as easy as typing "Clark" into the search box and then reading the thread titles to find the ones that were about Ed, then copying and pasting the links between line breaks.

I don't really understand why the newness of the posts would matter. True, Ed hasn't had any bad guy threads or questionable deals this week, but they aren't exactly ancient history either, mostly originating a few months apart every few months for the past couple years.

If you've read them though, then you should understand why Ed has a negative reputation. Even if you personally disagree with some of the contentions of wrongdoing (Heck, in two of those threads, I myself didn't think Ed was exactly wrong in the technicalities, although his conduct was atrocious), having read the threads as you claim, you should understand the basis for that negative reputation. It shouldn't be a mystery.

Anyone considering a transaction with anyone else should take the time to do a search, read the threads and weigh the evidence in order to draw their own conclusion. Ed's history is mixed at best, something anyone considering doing business with him should consider before proceeding.
 
Alright guys/gals i understand there is alot of BAD REP for ED CLARK but point and fact is i bought a RED HYPO BEARDIE for my GIRLFRIEND and the baby is doing great and eating good on crickets and roaches. i mean im not a gecko person or snake person but when i recieved the lizard it was healthy, i mean i dont have anything bad to say about Ed Clark, but if you all do please start a new thread. because the posts that were submitted do not have anything to do with BEARDIES, which is what was bought in this thread.

Thank You
 
Hi, I am happy to say that I am very pleased with the beautiful hypo trans female baby beardie that I bought from Ed Clark. I was ecstatic with the great deal I got for such a beautiful girl. She is happy, healthy, and growing and she arrived when she was expected to. Thank-you so much Ed, I would love to get another beardie from you someday soon.

I also need to say that she came to me with a healthy weight, parasite free, and a good appetite.
Thank-you so much Ed,
Janice
 
I got a nice Crawley red from Ed.
Easy to communicate with, well packaged, shipped out the day we agreed upon.

Overall Experience was fantastic, and I would purchase from him again.

The dragon I got is perfect, and I couldn't possible expect more :)

Ed. I plan on making another purchase shortly, as soon as I get some money.

Thanks Ed A+
 
Yeah I bought an amazing licorice rat snake from him and it was gorgeous. Ed was awesome throughout the whole transaction! Would definitely buy from him again in a heartbeat!!!

Read then. Seamus pointed it out as objectively as possible. The notion that this has nothing to do with beardies is irrelevant - it has to do with Ed. Don't downplay the other cases of the BOI on one hand and then worship Ed with your ingenious CAPS-LOCK-IS-STUCK frivolity on the other.
 
look you guys/gals all got ur point across and i thank you for doing what you guys/gals did but guess what me and a few others that have posted ont his thread did business with Ed and guess what everythign went smooth and great so if u all have problesm wtih him take that up with him he is obviously a grown man and a grown up so just discuss things with him if he doesnt answer so be it, let it be water under the bridge and go on with your lives and ur hobbys for whatever it is u may do. but me i call it as i see it and wat i see is what im calling and thats basically that the transaction me and him initiated went smooth and everything worked out great and im happy with what i have now

I think you need to look at my post. I never used "CAPS-LOCK-IS-STUCK" frivolity, as you put it. If you are going to quote me, at least do it correctly.
