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

    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.

    Sunglow genes

    I am really starting to grasp co-dom, domiant and recessive genes, but something is bugging the crap out of me. Now I know what you get when you breed a DH sunglow to a DH sunglow, or a DH sunglow to an Albino, or even a het albino, but what do you get if you breed a normal to a sunglow, or a...

    Good Guy Kyle Estes (kylestl)

    Kyle was great to deal with. Very knowledgeable for his age and shows a great love for reptiles. I made a trade and he also purchased a hypo boa off me, I am satisfied with my Cali king snake. I would recommend Kyle anytime, he is a great kid and sokes up information like a sponge! Thanks Kyle!

    Feeding question...

    I have an 06 Pastel female that hasn't eaten in about 3 months. She is small for her age, only being a little over 5ft long and is roughly about 4 years old. She came from a very reputable person here online that never had a problem feeding her. She ate for me the first 2 weeks, then has...

    DH sunglow x DH sunglow

    Breeding a possible super hypo het for albino to a hypo het for albino would give me 50% sunglows, 25% albinos and 25% possible super hypos het for albino, right? I am just giving an "average" percentege, I realize it may not be exact. My male is from a DH sunglow x DH sunglow breeding, making...

    Animal Planet documentary

    Did anyone see the animal planet documentary called fatal attractions and alien invaders? Both were strongly against exotic pet owners, senator Bill Nelson was part of it. It was sponsored by the Humane society of America.

    This is how my year is starting....

    She is my 8ft circle back, last time she bred, 2 years ago, she had 32 live, 2 slugs. This year I am proving out my male super hypo with her, hoping for all hypos, fingers crossed. Look at her size! She is larger around than a football, I can't fit two hands around her. I am excited, last...

    Strange cage ideas....

    Let me know what you guys n gals think of this idea. My theory behind this is that I have moved to a house that was kind of last minute, we were living in an apartment that was too small, my gma passed away and the family wanted us to buy her house, I was raised there so it meant a lot for me...

    Good Guy Gerry with SSSCALES

    I just purchased a beautiful boa from Gerry. Probably the most informative and professional guy I have dealt with so far. Temperatures were cold, so he threw in an extra heat pack, she arrived in good health. He even printed out a history report for me, containing her DOB, parents, possible...

    BOA GENETICS

    I have a super hypo male and was wanting to pair him with something OTHER than a normal next year. What do you get with a super hypo to albino breeding if the male is not het for albino? My understanding is I would get all hypos het for albino, or maybe a percentege of them will be het for...

    One eyed albinos & sunglows

    What is up with all of these one eyed albinos and sunglows? I am working up to sunglows, I am working with super hypos right now, but I am a little worried about possibly producing one eyed snakes. Is there any link to this? Is it just the genetics and the inbreeding? If anyone has info on...

    Sealing or covering flexwatt

    I have seen a lot of forums for hooking up flexwatt or placement, but none on how to cover or seal them. I have this fear of a water bowl getting tipped over and shorting out my system. I have a custoemr built wooden cage, made out of 3/4'' wood, stained and sealed. Right now I have lenolium...
