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

    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.

Any one else excited to know what's going on behind the scenes in 2012...

What is everyone loooking to add to their collection this season? I'm for sure going to be getting a superpastel , and a pastel butter. ,,,,
 
Hopefully a spider mystic potion if I hit on the odds. I'm undecided on my purchase this year between a leopard or a pastel ivory..........What would you go with?
 
I want a blackhead! And a GHI! We'll see what ends up becoming available, though.

I'm hoping to hit the odds really well and get a few Pumas. My female YB has 9 good follicles, so I should have a good chance to get at least 2...hoping for 9, though, right? lol.

For females, I might look at getting a couple more pieds and het pieds. I definitely want a breeder size/age female spotnose. Man, I could just keep listing...this post would never end...lol!
 
Well, from my eggs I am hoping to add a big gene yellowbelly female (from my CH male YB, so my own line to boot) to my collection.
The rest depends on who the daddy was. The other big gene locked with the spider, yb and fire. Females of any of those would be nice.
Both pastels locked with the same males...so I am hoping I can get a bee and/or firefly out of them...but would settle for a pastel YB.

As far as buying...IF I have the money...possibly a black pastel...maybe even het pied.
 
I can't wait to see what people are making this year!

oo pastel butter, nice! that is such a great combo (imo)

This year I plan to add a caramel to my collection. Also on waiting lists for some other DHs.
 
The two things I most hope to produce are Pieds and Albinos. Looks like I will get a few clutches of Het Pied to Poss Het, maybe one Het Pied to Het Pied, 3 clutches of Albino to Het, and one clutch of Albino to Poss Het.

As for what I want to buy...a new camera, and maybe a FireFly female...
 
Looking to produce at least a female Mojave and Pastave to keep. Possibly a Super Pastel. Probably purchasing another Het Pied girl and some Clowns or Het Clowns. Would like to add a multi-gene male, like a Black Pastel Pinstripe, or a Butter Pinstripe, whatever the name for the combo is. There is a lot more I would like to add, but I'll be producing some visual Albinos and Pieds next year, so I can wait for some of it.
 
hoping to hit the queen spin this year, also should have some double het albino pieds and hope to hit on the onyx. as far as buying may pick up a leapord or a spark.
 
Hoping to hit a Fire butter, some fire females, fireflies, and most anticipated is a black pastel het platty or black pastel lesser.

Man, that would be nice! I quoted one for farts and giggles and they are still out of my league lol. As for this year, I finally had my first clutch! The most I can get are pastels but I'm excited one way or the other! I will definitely hold back at least one from my first clutch. But it looks like I have another female wanting to burst and another who has locked up. So fingers crossed! :eek:
 
Got a couple of vanilla clutches cooking up, maybe one more on the way. Looking to keep a girl or two from them and if I get good odds adding a fire, maybe firefly girl, and possibly a ivory boy if I can find one. They seem kinda hard to find recently only one or two up now and again, but we'll see how that changes in a few months when hatchlings start popping up.

Good luck everyone, cant wait to see whats in store this year. Been hearing alot of possibilities of 4 gene 5 gene animals to come!
 
Well this year, I am hoping for some lesser cinnamons (lithiums), super cinnies, possibly savannahs, possibly pewters as well, and maybe some cinnamon het pieds. As far as pick ups, I am kinda wanting a vanilla cream project(vanilla male, fire female).
 
Hoping to pick up a double het lavender snow male for my female, and that'll do it for me.

As far as what's new, I'm hoping we'll see some more co-dom/clown combos.
 
If the Odds Gods love me I'll have some White Gold! My mojave 66% het pied just went through her prey lay shed. Actually I'll be thrilled if I just get a pied out of her and prove her out!
 
My most anticipated clutch so far will be Albino/Spider x Het. Albino....she is in the middle of ovulation now....fingers crossed...hoping the Albino takes from the same male as well....
 
I also would like to hold back a Pied Female....from a Pied x Het. Pied cross
 
I am looking to add a male Mojave hypo for next years breeding.
Other than that just trying to stay focused on current breeding plans for the future.
 
We hope to trade for some nice stuff, no real purchases planned.

We should have eggs coming from Clown male X pewter, butter, bumblebee and yellowbelly females.
Albino black pastels, Ivory or pastel Ivory, super black pastels and some nice single gene stuff should round out our season.
