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

    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.

Anyone have any dealings with them. There on Facebook decent prices. When asked take a pic of animals I was interested in with todays date on card next to snakes.I have got no response.
 
Tom and I have done business with Byron on a sale He was a dream to do business with, paid quick as lightning, very personable, and I believe he is in Law Enforcement. He has my vote! Tom still chats with him to this day I think too.
 
Im glad someone has had good dealings with him. Maybe he has changed. I myself had horrable time with him. I was just getting in to ball pythons and he used that againest me. I traded him about 5-600 worth of stuff and in return i got 3 normal males. After trying to get a hold of him i only got his voice mail. After about a month or so i finally talked to him and he told me he had been in the hospital and that he would fix it. Never heard from him again. At the last show i went to i actually saw my hog island boas i had traded to him for sale.
 
I've sold a few snakes to Byron...no issues with receiving payment, no attempts at beating down prices, and he's been a nice guy to deal with.
 
Paul,
Sorry I didn't see your posting. I refreshed my listings yesterday with a new ad, and erased the old.

Thanks Tom & Brandi & Rob for the words. Its been pleasure dealing with you as well :):)

Nothing in regards to the below? :shrug01:

I backed out because there was no answer to that unresolved claim ill take my $ elsewhere
 
Well according to him he posted on my fb page that he never burned anyone. So I asked him to come back her and post it has been resolved. Appartley he is pissed I deceided not to buy from him for the reason above. I will not support anybody who has burned another and has not fixed the issue or responded.

Paul, :lol01: you and I were never in a deal, you never responded to facebook messages Or the Emails I sent per your demand, not request but demand. Also note you made this quote AFTER I announced the particular snakes you were looking for were sold.

Please continue conduct your business with others. No harm no foul by you choosing not purchasing from me., besides as stated above, SNAKES WERE SOLD.

Who are you? Your name does not ring a bell, or any of my dealing with boas. The HOGG Island Boas i have came from Nicholas Giavasis, I still have the receipts. 2nd) Ive vended dozens of expos the past few years, and have YET to have a HOGG Island on my table offered for sale or trade. Check the trade show photos, tell me when you find one.

Im sure you wouldnt remember my name. Its been over a year now since you came down to my place and did the trade. But dont worry my girl friend and I still remember your name and face. I bet you did get some from him but that still doesnt mean anything. I cant prove if u were in the military like you said or if that was jsut a lie to make me feel more confertable but any respectiable military guy would never screw one of there own like that for a cheap buck. Best part was that you were more than willing to talk to my girl friend till she started asking why we hadnt gotten anything else or why you wouldnt answer my phone calls. Oh well we learned a hard lession and made us stronger.
 
Demand... Please explain demand. I asked for photos. I did not even look at your page to see what was sold or not after the post above saying you never fixed the problem with him. Right at that point I decided not to purchase. I could care less about what was or wasn't sold as soon as you avoided to dodge the question above I went elsewhere. I will not support people who screw others over. I'm sorry I asked for photos with the date on them next to the snake. I'm very cautious when I buy without meeting face to face.

though all I am seeing is rambling and having to decipher the misspellings,, looks like you were trying to pull a quick one on someone, and get more and more from them. Hopefully no one fell for this.

By the way, I have all my records for my reptiles covering 3+ years. Buys, sells, & trades. And clearly, you are NOT in those files or forms.

Demand: Message states you wanted photos with todays date, weights, and sent to your personal email, not a question but more "send me this". I sent to your email, you never responded. Oh well

Again Paul, please continue doing business elsewhere. Thanks
 
Hahaha whatever bud just fix ur loose ends that caught up to you
 
Also for others to know I asked for date weight and on card next to pics and I got nothing just some really bad pics no date nada. Guess it was to much to ask for
 
Hahaha whatever bud just fix ur loose ends that caught up to you

I'm not seeing any loose ends at this point...Does anyone even know if this deal really happened?
Byron is saying he didn't deal with this person, how do we know if he has or has not?

So it's been over a year, I haven't seen any proof and the person is claiming they were taken advantage of. If they were that's too bad, but to say Byron has loose ends is a stretch from what we have seen at this point.
 
More BOI crap started where someone is guilty before proven innocent, over something questionable as a BOI subject in the first place.

Is there a set of rules somewhere that at least outlines WHAT is a valid BOI, before someone gets run into the dirt over some unproven "he said she said" BS, like this most likely is? Byron ripped someone off. That will be the day.
 
LOL this is the email i have from him last year.

I know it doesnt prove that he took advantiage of me but that was all in person so theres no records of it. It does show that we were talking and if he doesnt remember me or remember the trade then he doesnt on purpose.
