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

    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.

These are F1 Theloderma leprosum, from WC parents. Completely new blood to the hobby, which I'm very happy about. Pictures of adults (NFS) and froglets. I have 6 froglets available between 1-2 months old and more due to morph out by mid-January if you want to pre-order. If you ask for an adult female I will ignore you. Froglets are about 1" long at time of sale (top left pictured below). Adults get to be 2.75" long. They can be become voracious feeders if not fed regularly (every couple of days), so don't keep different sizes/ages together.

These are SUPER easy, and should be kept just like adults in a semi-aquatic environment. Fill a 10 gallon tank with 3" of water for froglets or a 20 gallon with 4" of water for older specimens. Put a dead leaf (Indian almond leaf) in the water to make it a little acidic/stop fungus. Keep room temperature. Frogs should never be kept above 75 degrees Fahrenheit. 4 inches of water, rocks + logs popping out the water for perching. They will spend 90% time in the water. A cork or wood bark background is also helpful for climbing, though they will stick to the glass. Though technically nocturnal like most tree frogs they are active during the day as well with reasonable shelter and environment. Care is identical to the more famous mossy frog T. corticale, they are slightly shorter, but more colorful. And more active/jumpy. Not as productive as T. corticale either.

Shipping to the contiguous 48 United States by FedEx priority overnight to nearest hub where it will be held for pickup. Payment by Zelle, paypal, venmo, credit card accepted. Reach out for references. I did sell to someone on here not too long ago but she didn't leave feedback. Please DM me, or ask for email/phone if you prefer. Ask any questions about animal care before you buy.

If you don't pickup by 12 noon or 4 hours has passed (whichever is longer time) from the ready for pickup you lose my live arrival guarantee.
By doing business with me you explicitly acknowledge you have experience and/or reasonable ambitions to learn how to care for the animals you purchase from me. You also acknowledge unless you provide proof with several high resolution photos or a clear video within 4 hours of arrival time (ready for pickup) of a deceased animal, you forfeit the live arrival guarantee. You will not be refunded for shipping unless all animals show up deceased upon arrival and you provide proof. You also will not get a refund if you do not pickup or communicate intent to pickup within 48 hours of my shipping time and I decide to have the animal shipped back to me. I won't have animals sit in a Fedex hub for more than 2 days, and even that's under extreme circumstances.
