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

    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.

Inquiry Mike Qiang (big apple)

The iguana has been Photoshopped look at the border edge around the iguana you will see a blue hue in spots. Also the key scales that set Cyclura lewisi from the rest of the nubila group are not there to indicate high percentage lewisi. If anything it is a the 50% lewisi at best. Worth around $200 not $1500. I will post this on the ad as well.

Ty,
I wouldn't send him a dime until you can be sure that iggy is actually his & that pic wasn't photoshopped, if it was i don't think you should send a dime if it is proven not to be his or if photo was altered in any way. Wait until it's sold & have Mike have happy buyer post here (after having iggy in possession). I still think this guy is trying to scam someone.
 
Geez. It was kind for Ty to offer you money. It makes you look horribly greedy asking when you're getting it, over and over.

I'd still personally avoid this guy, his attitude seems terrible.
 
I agree with Jason, Chris, & Rick 110% :iagree:

But I know you Ty, you'll do exactly what you said you'd do.

My hats off to you!:thumbsup:

Could be the camera, but that animal is definitely oddly glowing blue. Maybe we're not the ones with eye and english problems.

Mike do you have permission to use those photos?
 
Here's a close up of the head of the iguana pictured. The photo has been altered severly! I would stay away from this guy TY...I would think it's just a cuban! Hell, Big Apple - why don't you send the animal to TY without payment if the animal really looks like that TY would gladly pay you 1500 for it. I send two hybrids to TY before even talking about money. After he got them we agreed on a price. TY's not a thief.

left picture his from his ad....right photo is my female's head. HIS photo has been severely COLORED
