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

    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.

    Good Guy Scott Griffith / millenniumsg

    I purchased an albino Darwin carpet python from Scott and the entire transaction was fantastic. Scott was quick to answer a MILLION questions (and I do mean a million, I asked so many) at even the strangest hours (I work nights, so it can be weird to reach me). She was packaged perfectly and she...

    Good Guy Rory Gresco / Canopy Lab Exotics

    I'm really not sure HOW Rory doesn't have a BOI thread yet, but I'm correcting that with this very good guy thread. I was lucky enough to purchase a red amazon tree boa from Rory Gresco at Canopy Lab Exotics. Rory was willing to work with me on a short payment plan, much to my appreciation, and...

    Purchased a juvenile garden phase amazon tree boa from Dayton about a month ago; he was great about answering all my questions promptly, packaged and shipped the snake well, and he's settled in great. Very pretty animal. I would not hesitate to do business with Dayton again. Thank you, sir!

    Good Guy Harlin Wall / Wall to Wall Reptiles

    This probably goes without saying since as far as I know, Harlin has a knock out reputation - but I purchased a biak from him a few weeks ago, after several hours of conversations wherein he made the purchase one of the most seamless and comfortable processes I have ever experienced in keeping...

    Info McLenor W

    I'm posting this mostly as an inquiry thread, because I want to alert people to what may be a scam. On Morphmarket, they are using several stolen photos to advertise snakes. I know for a fact that the Banana Mojave and the Black Pastel (which is actually a Black Pastel Hypo) as well as the...

    Good Guy Richard Cole, Jamie Wilson / CF Exotics

    Richard and Jamie are both incredible people. They primarily breed boas, but they also sell feeders here in central Florida, and I wanted to give them a shout out for always being fantastic. They're who I buy the majority of my feeders from these days and I could not be happier. Thank you both. <3

    Good Guy Tony & Kayla Simpson - Simpson Exotics

    The fact that these two don't have a Good Guy thread yet is shocking to me. They're both great. I've purchased three animals from Tony, all of which have been excellent eaters. The first transaction was 100% smooth, for a leopard ball python. The second one was bumpy through no fault of Simpson...

    This is a little overdue, I expect. My first experience with Family Reptiles was great. I bought a rack and Scott talked to me on the phone, explained the rack in detail from its sizes and dimensions to what kind of tests they did to hold up durability. The second experience I had, Scott was...
