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

    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.

Living Gems Reptiles is pleased to finally profile the babies from its 2018 “F” litter.

Born on July 27, 2018 to Picasso (a unique dual-orange male of undetermined age)…

…and Peridot (an August 2013 dual-orange female; she was the product of a Picasso-Malachite litter)…

Dam

…this litter represents the first pairing of these two animals.

The babies in this litter were striking from Day 1. They display an unusually wide range of color, from dual orange to soft red to dark red. The litter has seven males and eight females, an almost perfect split.

All are now well-tested at a year and three quarters old, with numerous successful meals and sheds. As has been outlined in previous posts, all of these babies come from a disease-tested facility.

As with all LGR litters, we’ve done dozens of handling sessions for each baby, part of our commitment to start acclimating them to humans.

Over the following posts, please find a short profile of every baby in the litter. For each, a short description is provided, noting any behavioral or physical quirks, along with a selection of photos. For dorsal chains, “short” means two to three linked spots, and “long” mean four or more. Please note the term “holdback” means we are keeping the baby as a future breeder. Note we have not chosen all holdbacks yet for this litter.

So grab a cup of your favorite brew, sit back, relax, and enjoy!

If you like what you see, and want first dibs at any babies, you can sign up for our Wait List .

Thank you as always,
 
Baby #02 (Female)

This little lady has a dark background and soft orange dorsals. She has an interesting “S” dorsal chain on her neck, and shallow but vivid side crescents.

Baby #04 (Female)

This fetching girl has a dark reddish background and orange dorsals. She has several short dorsal chains on her back, and nice prominent side crescents. She also won the feisty award, and visibly demonstrated her tiny wrath at the very idea of “sexing” day.

Baby #05 (Male)

This charming boy has a reddish background and orange dorsals. His dorsals are all smaller and mostly distinct from each other. He has two unique black dots in the center of her back. His side crescents are medium depth and brightly colored. He was curious during writeup night, and stuck his little head right in my face.

As of early May’s weigh-in, this little gem is the lightweight of his litter, measuring 83 grams.
 
Baby #06 (Male)

This young lad has a reddish background and orange dorsals. His back dorsals have thick black borders. His side spots are large but with thin crescents, in some areas almost tending towards solid black dots.

Baby #09 (Female)

This gallant girl has a reddish background and soft orange dorsals. Her dorsals are large but show little chaining. She has deep and bright but thin side crescents. She gave me a wary look the entire time I was writing her up.

Baby #10 (Male)

This young dude was in shed during writeup night, but his dark red background still shown though, in a nice contract to his orange dorsals. He had minor dorsal chaining with heavier borders, and his side crescents are on the thin and shallow side, with several missing entirely.

Baby #11 (Female)

This gorgeous gal has a soft reddish background that contrast well with her orange dorsals. She has minor dorsal chaining, with one longer chain where the spots do not link but touch each other. She has shallow and thin crescents, but with good color.

Baby #12 (Male)

This little man has a soft, hard-to-define background color that could go either way. His orange dorsals are on the muted side, partly due to some blushing. He may end up being a nice dual orange like his parents. His side crescents are mostly shallow but bright. He watched me for the first half of the writeup process, then decided to hide his head behind the water bowl near the computer screen. Either that, or he was reading what I wrote.

Baby #13 (Female)

This little lady is the supermodel of her litter, and my first holdback pick. One glance at her photos will tell why: brilliant color, clean large separate dorsals, and thin but deep and bright side crescents.

Baby #14 (Male)

This little boy has a dark background and golden orange dorsals. He has little dorsal chaining, but there is a lot of size range in them, with one or two tiny dots mixed in amongst the rest. The dorsals have thick black borders, and his side crescents are mostly thin and shallow, both further heightening his sultry dark appeal. He was soaking during writup night, just having shed, and craned his head out to watch me appraise him.
