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

    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.

Ever wonder what an albino hypo Borrego might look like?
I'm not saying that's what it is, but this is an albino from a 2xhet Carlson Snow x 2xhet Carlson Snow breeding. The 2x hets came from a breeding between a Carlson Snow and a hypo Borrego.

Third...

Lastly...WTF do I have here?
Could this be a Sunglow rosy?
It comes from breeding double hets for Whitewater albino and ghost San felipe.
Some people think ghost San Felipe's are simple recessive, while others think Co-dom...if they really are Co-dom, then an albino with 1 copy of the ghost gene might look like this...what would the super-form look like(probably a Carlson snow, IMO). Whatever he is, he's one neat looking franken-boa.
The lighter one is also an albino from a similar breeding...same father, different 2xhet mother.

Those are beautiful animals. The pink one in the last set of pix is quite a looker.
 
Thanks man.
I can't wait to breed the last one...hopefully he will prove out to be what I think he is.
 
nice animals john.... that 'sunglow' is killer looking... can't wait to see its adult colors !!
 
Those super speckled Borregos are great, but the "Sunglow" is over the top!! Id love to get one of those in the near future for my collection! By the way the Aneries I got from you Are doing Awesom! They are really light from that hypo in their Blood, Love it, Thanx Again, Mike
 
He has stayed very much the same, perhaps a bit brighter even.
I am thinking about trying to back breed him to his mother this year, but I have what looks to be a Paradox that I might want to breed her with first.
 
The 'albino hypo Borrego' is ready to breed and I definitely plan on breeding him with a normal hypo Borrego this year...possibly another albino bred into a Borrego line I have.
He is fantastic looking! The spotting looks even better now that he's gained some size.
 
Hey Rebecca,
None of those pictured are for sale...but, there may be some newborns from them for sale later in August or Sept.

I want to see the updated pics of the san felipe ghost X Whitewater
 
Well, Mike, here are a few recent photos and some other stuff thrown in.
The ghost x WW next to a possible paradox albino
The normal WW from the above pics, washed out and next to the possible paradox
and two more pics of the possible paradox

I wish I could take better photos...they look so much better in person...maybe I'll construct a light box sometime...
