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

    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.

So, before I start, I know this is something I'll need to work out through breeding, but my last clutch just hatched last week and the results were kind of neat and not as expected...

The pairing was a het red axanthic female x red axanthic, mojave hypo, CH granite type, and possibly pastel butter male(never saw a lock with him). The only real option as sire is, IMO, the CH granite type male, so here are pics of him(1st pic) and the HRA female...

Now here are pics of the offspring, which ended up being 2 males, 2 females...I'll just refer to them as granites, as it is most likely what they are.

Male possible granite

So, obviously, I'm unsure about 3 of the 4...the first two pictured are pretty ordinary looking, but share some characteristics with the third one, that I think they may just be less exaggerated variations. I absolutely love how the third one came out, and would love to be able to replicate him down the line. As for the HRA, again I'm unsure of. Looks like a het red, but a bit different. Would be pretty sweet if I hit the granite on 4 of 4. Planning on another clutch or two sired by this male in the spring.

Thanks for looking, and any comments, feedback are definitely appreciated...:thumbsup:.

Rob the male with almost the full dorsal stripe looks like a granite het red imo , id like to see him after a few sheds
 
The third one that popped out looks fantastic, I would have to agree with Randy that That could be the granite het red combo. The female Het red looks to be a regular het red to me, the few het reds I hatched out this year have similar speckling on their sides.

I think you guys may be right...I need to look around to see if I can find any other granite HRA's. Anyhow, that one is definitely a keeper, as I do love how he came out.

Yea I have been trying to find anything on the combo, and so far its a no go. But if you don't keep him, I'll send you my address lol.
Gook luck with him!
 
So, I gave away one male, and am pretty sure the het red is just that....and I still have this male and female from the clutch. After talking with some people, I don't think it's granite at all. The female is pictured first...

From the pics, I would have to agree that the female is a nice normal. The male though, I still can't get over the dorsal stripe :yesnod:
