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

    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.

fantastic Dan! good to see someone else starting early lol

those should kick out some amazing babies. let me know if you end up with some nice ch females mid-06 :)

we've already started cooking nearly 30 eggs thusfar..... im sure by next season the two weeks or so "down time" between seasons will be non-existant. so long vacation time *pulls hair out*
 
thanks kelli, he is probably my nicest male albino, hopefully a few babies will turn out like him

chris, 30 eggs already? damn...i dont think "vacation" is in the gecko breeding dictionary, lol

yeah, last year we had a few girls go early and it seems now they want to follow the same trend. they were purchased last season from a breeder who had already had them in with males.

I guess they were "expecting" to see thier males early this season too, sometimes you just gotta give those girls what they want. *shrug*
 
okay, well, uh, you can definitly tell from the second pick that the male is happy about the idea.:) Is it just me though, or does the females look the same in every pic? She doesn't look so thrilled about the situation.
 
Wow, you guys start pretty early! I don't breed mine until December at the earliest. This year's not any different either, especially since I may be moving soon. Nothing's worse than traveling with eggs in the car!

I also got a few new breeders this year, and I want them to get a bit bigger before I try to breed them. I can't wait to see the offspring of my new group!

No comment. :bolt01: Seriously though, that is why I am afraid to breed my geckos. I very highly doubt Spaz, Boo, and Popeye (yes she's a girl) Would put up with being bitten. I am afraid for my males lives. Mongo is the only girl I would trust not to tear my males apart. Have you ever had that happen?
 
I have a female leo that thinks she is an Iggy. She tail whips the males right in the face whenever they do the cute licking and nibbling thing! Then they just stand there with a "oh my god" look on their face and go and sulk in the corner! XD

I don't think i'll EVER get eggs from her! :rofl:

desire', i had that problem with one of my normals "trinity" everytime i put my male "harley" in she would beat him up and he would go sulk in the corner and noot eat for a week...well..turns out she wanted a more confident male. haha, i put my very agressive male "marrick" (who is now for sale) with her an he got the deed done in less than 4 mins, haha
 
lol , gotta love that gecko porn! I'm scared for 2 of my females i pair up with my male patty. his whole life so far well since i had him. probably about 6 months. hes been by him self. about 2 months ago i put my female blizzard next to him in a tank and he went nuts! waggin tail tip. pacing back and forth. and actually licking lips. lol she just turned around and walked away. lol i guess i don't want him getting to carried away with them when they meet.. also im gonna start late. letting some get up to weight and size for the season. gonna start putting together in january or febuary..
