=====================
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.

None. If you are looking for a friendly pet, get a dog. Some Chams will tame down a bit but the rule of thumb is these are display pets only and taming down is on a case by case basis and not guaranteed for any species.

well,i used to have a adult male chameleon but died.but i still have a adult female . they were pretty easy to tame but they never were agressive but some times she will hiss. so if u want a easy species to tame or to keep go with a veiled they are also cool when they get older especially the males they they will get a huge veied the only one problem with them(if u had one)is there sharp nails they have such sharp nails that my old males nail went right through my finger . but if they are trimed often they will not hurt.all i can say is this is the best one.
yes, chams get stressed so easy, so you should leave them alone. sure some chams seems to like you, but again, they are not pets.
I would say senegalensis or j.merumontanus, but I don't think it has that much to do with the temper of the species, because no cham are the same.

I dont know about you guys but my male panther is about as tame as they come. When I open the door of his inclosure he ll walk right up to my hand and climb on it. He never even yells or threatens me...
To me the best way to tame a cham is to get him as a baby that way he ll be used to you. Worked for me.

if he is only 8month, then i think he has nice colours. hmm I never really use reptisun, because i use one big 300watt uvb bulb 15min 2 times a week and when its hot enough (I live in a cold area) then i keep them out side.

Use that UVB source along with his basking lamp for 12 hours a day, everyday. He will need to get between 6-12 inches from the UVB tube. Don't let anything get inbetween the tube and him (no plastic or glass) except for the screen of the enclosure and he will get enough UVB. Real outdoor sunshine is best when it is available.
