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

    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 have looked through the discussion threads and did not see this.Sorry if I just missed it.I have a pair of Albino Khal strain, unrelated.Is there a problem with breeding them together?
 
Shouldnt be a problem but one never knows. I know a lot of people are out there breeding Albino x Albino as long as they are unrelated. I personally dont know if I would want to take a chance but I suppose if I plan on breeding my snow to my albino, it would be the same thing.
 
I do not know the detailed genetics, so this may not apply, but I think in general there is a higher risk of undesirable genetic abnormality when breeding albino x albino instead of het for albino, so you may get a higher proportion of unviable or need to cull offspring.
 
Helenthereef was right on the money. Least with everything I've read.
Even though they aren't siblings, in a way they are related. There still hasn't be enough new blood breed into albinos for it to be considered safe. You basically are just running a higher risk of birth defects. If you watch the market you'll see a much higher rate of albinos/sunglows/snows with missing eyes and/or sinal defects.

Personally I'm all about breeding for strong healthy newborns rather than shooting for a better outcome in terms of $. So I would not recommend breeding albinoxalbino.
 
Still am foggy

Well I did get an extra male that is 100% Het for bino.I really would like some more input.I am not trying to wait around till I get an answer I would like,I just have seen so many pics of breeding projects that were Albino X Albino It never occured to me there could be issues till a friend mentioned it.The female is supposedly Het Anery.The only reason I am inclined to believe it is It was not really brought up by the seller till I had paid them.He stated he simply lost the het papers and was not even gonna use the het as a selling point.I got a fair Albino price on her.Anyhow thank you for the feedback and please keep it coming I really appreachiate it!
 
makes sense

This last thread was written while I was writing my last one.I am crystal clear that I am not gonna pair them.Thanks
