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

    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.

    Fake lipsticks on MM

    MM is not so great. Imo. I see so many people advertising lipstick Albinos and sunglows that are definitely not lipsticks. So many new people buy a boa from a person saying the litter is lipstick. So they breed them and call all their babies lipsticks! Such a crap shoot for some who don’t know...

    Clingy boa

    It’s been over a year now of regular handling and this boy is clingy. Reminding me of my days with babies. I bring him in my bedroom to get away from anything distracting I guess. Like other pets. Cats. Dogs. He still will not let go. He freaks out when I make him go solo. It looks like he’s...

    Any ads of weekly feeding of boas?

    I see lots of breeders still only feeding mice to 1 y/o boas and wonder why. Most of my reading and learning said boas hit 3’ at year one. All my babies do reach that on weekly feeding of appropriate sized rats. I don’t use mice often. Occasionally a new born won’t take a day old pinky rat and...

    Disappointed with Big Cheese rodents?

    For years I used rodent pro and not 1 issue. I stopped buying when they had that outbreak of something and bred my own for 2 years. I also used JPC boas since he was a few hrs away. Both places were good. I recently bought 50 fuzzy hoppers from Big Cheese. Totally disappointed when I took out...

    Hello I raised many boas and never used Guinea pigs. I’m looking to see if the are more nutritional than rats. I bred both rats and rabbits. I only had one boa out of 20 ish adults and many juvi’s. So I stopped the rabbit breeding. I no longer breed rats either. I had a soft spot for many of...

    Asking question and being punished.

    Hi I posted a few questions asking about feed and slow growth rates from a certain seller. First time I used the company name. Got points. Second ad I left all hints of who it was that I believe is not being honest. I got pointed with the excuse that my post is a boi style! I’d like to know...
