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

    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.

Great project Gregg! It is the one I am most excited about in regards to all the Mack Snow stuff. You have some good looking geckos to start with too. Good luck.
 
Cool project Gregg! I am also very excited to see what comes of that cross, should be cool!
 
Thanks everyone.... I think there will be some nice animals produced as a result of this project.....

Kelli, as soon as I found out what co-dominant snow offsping looked like, I knew that super hypo baldy snow leos, was the project for me.... I assume you are working on this as well so good luck with your project.... We might have to trade off some animals in the near future....
 
cool idea! id love to see a super hypo baldy super mack snow. im pictureing at adulthood it will have only spotting around the tail. mostly white with a black ringed tail. hmmm......

Click to expand...

Thats what I am going for.... I am just hoping that the super snow genetics do not cancel out hypo-melanism and revert back to a black and white spotted leo.... Well we will never know unless we try it.....
 
theoretically speaking, the hypo gene isnt cancelled out by a single mack snow gene (theres still hypo, snow and yellow present in hypo snows) so i beleive that they do not exsist on the same allelle. its probably safe to say you can create a double mutation in both super (homozygous) forms... i.m.o.
