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

    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.

  • Brian I gotta think about it....I kinda want a guarantee on hets when they're males, but that's a good deal :)I'll let you know yay or nay by the end of the month. thanks
    hey Brian, this is Summer, bought the female clown from you a few months back.....if you have any double het clown/pied males or really anything possible double het for those genes let me know! thanks
    Thanks :) My black pastel het pied is finally trying to get it on with my black pastel female so hopefully that takes! He is also being paired with a blackback lesser and a weirdo reduced pattern poss het pied... Think I should try for a mixed clutch on the lesser and throw the blackback mojave in with her, or stick with just the black pastel het pied??
    Alright, although most of my females haven't been bred yet. Didn't get a male for them till last week and wanted to wait a bit before introducing, and he's not proven. So who knows. I hope I get some good stuff.
    they could be getting later for you bro. but if there that late, try going to the Tuscon show? its lik the 24-25th of sept. should be perfect.
    I'm really not sure what i can do, if you think you can raise ball pythons and not have one fast for months at a time, then you should'nt mess with this breed of python. they are notorious for fasting. I bought a lab 10 years ago from a breeder and she has heart disease now, but im not going to ask for a refund now.
    Brian, i sold you a healthy 1000+ gram female 6 months ago, and told you that she has gone off feed for two weeks before you purchased her. i also told you what she had been feeding on. It is now six months later and you want a refund. i will not take back an animal that has been in your possession for six months, and there are no health issues with her. it is not uncommon for ball pythons to go off feeding for long periods. i have some that i have purchased that have not fed in months, but i have not harrassed the seller about it because like i said it's not uncommon. I don't know the conditions where she is now, but she was perfectly healthy and up to weight when you recieved her. I'm sorry she has stopped feeding, but she will again eventually, they always do.
    figured id keep in touch with you clown male is eating great putting on some weight... female het doing nice as well
