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

    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.

I had this posted in the Trade and Bartering forum but was not really getting any hits so I thought I would move it here.

I am looking for a '08 or '09 Male Albino Boa or other High End Boas for a trade of Military Related Items. All offers will be considered.
If you are interested in a trade or would like to see more pics please PM me

Everything is brand new never been used.

Marine Corps Issue 3 part sleeping system w/o bivy sack MSRP $332 Found online for $235
Marine Corps Issue Field Tarp new marpat camoflage pattern (digital) MSRP $150 Found online for $100
poncho liner new marpat camoflage pattern (digital) MSRP $ 60 Found online for $ 45
4 MACS Sacks (water proof bags) I can not find these for sale anywhere MSRP $ 30each at cash sale on base
Genuine USMC NCO Sword Brass w/Gold Plate NOT A REPLICA MSRP $500 Found online for $440
Also is a used willypete bag it is still in excelent condition I am not putting a trade value on this since it is used it will be a bonus to the trade
'03 Male Normal Columbian Red Tail Boa $150

The Sword will be hard for me to give up since it was the one issued to me so the trade will have to be just right for it to be included
The '03 Columbian has never been bred by me I was going to breed him this season but had a great offer on the 9' Female he was going to be put with this season and sold her so I no longer need him. The previous owner said he had a litter of 27 with a Normal Female from him in '08 no slugs.

I estimate everthing to be a total of $1090
I'm only looking to get about $600 in trade value through this maybe even a single male if all shipping is paid that leaves about a $400 to $700 dollar profit if you were to turn around and sell everything on ebay.

Here the links to where I had got my priceing

All trades considered, Morph or Hets, also normal breeding pairs. I am not looking for any cash what so ever if you make an offer that consists of one Boa that may cost only $200 you walk away with over $800 in trade value. Surely there is someone on here that is a military enthusiast, or would like to turn a good profit on ebay.
