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

    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.

    ok I see you signed on man even changed your picture bro. Well I don't know if your mad at me or what brother. Me and my wife drove to NY to help you out and none of the jails had you. I don't know what i did man but I know what i said to you wife was wrong i wish i could take it back. But I have been a friend man to you from that day on as you have for me. You even went out of your way for my daughter.But I planned to ship my snake to you tomorrow evening. I went and loaned some money from my family to get this snake shipped Rich. You know we need it gone due to the size. Why are you ignoring me bro. I got the shipping supplies ready and everything. Why are you acting like i'm a stranger man. If your offended because me and my wife wanted to help you out in a time of need We are sorry. I know you had taxes to pay and sitting in jail is no place for anyone. I was just trying to be a friend. If you don't want my boa please tell me so I can find someone to take it. It would be to your gain getting him Rich he's a proven breeder, let alone he's ready to breed. If you don't want to be friends please let me know I'll leave you alone. But I thought we had a deal. If you still want him he's your's i'll ship him tomorrow.

    they dont use phones as it keeps down cost.
    they are very good at getting back to you on the pc.
    they guarantee live delivery.i only had 1 batch die and that was last year.they sent another 5000 next day.
    you have to use the on line ordering.
    look it up-its www.expresscrickets.com
    the more you order the cheaper it is.
    good luck
    i have used them for a few years while i was breeding beardies.i now only have 3 left that i'm selling.i got into boa morphs.
