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

    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.

I have feather moss (thuidium sp.) available, 12 x 12 inch portions are $12.99. Shipping is with Priority Mail Medium Flat Rate Box $10.70 for 11" x 8-1/2" x 5-1/2" size box.
This size will hold 3 portions layered with thin dirt base attached.
The portions are not one piece, they are made up of several large sections. It works well since it is easier to decorate with the smaller sections.
This is a low growing moss that grows well in medium light to shade conditions. It tolerates a good bit of moisture, even to the point of bogginess working well in moist frog tanks.
Its color varies from light to dark green, and also bronze.
It has very delicate feather or fern-like leaves. This moss spreads quickly, and can be trained to grow over rocks and wood.



I also have carpet moss (hypnum sp.) available in the same size portions and price.
The boxes will hold 4 portions of this type, the attached dirt base is thinner.
It prefers acidic environments and is fairly tolerant to a variety of growing conditions.
It will not grow well on the floor of very moist tanks, but makes and excellent moss wall where excess moisture can drip off from being suspended.

This is all pesticide and chemical free.
It will need light cleaning of leaf pieces, tiny bits of twig, etc.
Most of the cleaning will be done before shipping and only fine tuning will be needed.

more pics of the moss

Since I couldn't edit my post, I have added a few more pics of the feather moss and one of the carpet moss.
This moss likes it a little wet and it looks great.

Hello Moses,
This is a fairly slow growing moss, but the growth speed of any moss is dependant on the environmental variables, eg. lighting, nutrients, moisture, etc.
This moss grows in a very tight mat entangling it's fern like leaves together, I don't know that you would ever have to cut it and if you did it would be a long time from the original setup time.
I am not on here much since I first posted this since I have had such a large response from ebay and other sites, my moss and exotic plant sales hav e kept me way to busy.
Feel free to email me if you are interested in trying some of this or my other mosses and plants.


Have a great weekend.
Nat.
