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

    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.

Typhlonectes natans; “Rio Cauca caecilian” cb 2019

I have three Typhlonectes natans; “Rio Cauca caecilians" aka Rubber Eels for sale. These are captive bred from one of the only breeding colonies left in the USA. They are 6 months old; growing quickly and eating well on sinking pellets and earthworm pieces. They are a very hardy species; but do require a few considerations. Your aquarium lid must be completely sealed; these are escape artists unmatched in nature except for the octopus. No openings of any kind. They are a tropical species; and do best when kept above 80F.

These have not been imported in over 15 years since being banned by the local governments. These are very rare in the USA now. If you don't like the price, please go complain to the people selling fancy designer ball python and leopard gecko morphs for 1000+$. Those aren't rare... these are. I am only selling three of them this year.

$250 each; plus shipping costs. References available on my Triton Newts FB page.

Had a few more juveniles ready. Drop the price to $200 each plus SYR shipping. You're not gonna find these at Tinley.....
 
Sold two more; but still have at least 4 available. $150 each (plus SYR) if you buy multiples. These are very hardy and grow like weeds.
 
A couple of adults might be available. Message me if serious. Take a look at the original price for juveniles, double it. Add shipping costs (FYI, it will be overnight, in a large heavy box, $$$$). Still interested and not wasting my time? send a message.
 
I am interested in juveniles if they ever become available. Shipping doesn't seem like it is necessary. I have a bunch of axolotls and frogs up here in northern MN.
 
Don't go for those wild caught, underground living animals that are loaded with parasites and will hide away in it's habitat filled with dirt.

Get yourself a genuine captive bred aquatic caecilian for a heavily planted tropical aquarium to show off something really cool and unique. Eating pellets, bloodworms, blackworms, earthworms, krill and growing like weeds.

My shipping season will be ending shortly. Still have some left. I'd knock it down to $179 each if you bought 3 or more; plus shipping.
 
That was fast. I'm likely out until next year. I'll update if I have any left

UPDATE: Still have some.

I have some captive bred full adults for sale. This is a breeder group. $275, or $250 ea 2+. LAG shipped to local FedEX shipment hub for you to pickup. No LAG to residential addresses. Overnight express typically $90-110 due to box size and weight.
 
I have one or two left. These will be the last I offer. Ever. I do not know of anyone else actively breeding this species in captivity for sale.
