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

    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 am looking to see what people have for sale in the baby alligator snapper section. I'd like to see some different morphs. Please reply to this thread or pm me with pics and asking price.

-Thanks
 
That's what I'd like to know. I've seen albino but so expensive. I'd like tower if anyone has anything else but I'd be interested in a hypo morph.
 
I've never seen an albino alligator snapper before but john richards has hypo pink ones.
 
Yeah I just saw one the other day ago on here going for $9500. Crazy high price but very rare turtle. Do you know how much he sells them for by any chance?

The one in her the other day was not an albino alligator snapper but just an albino common snapper. I think therr is only one albino alligator snapper and it's in Asia.

There are a few different phases of hypo/pink/leucistic alligator snappers. Just have to keep your eyes out and wait usually or check out www.turtleman.com
 
Yes A clutch of 8 with 3 blind and one with a hunch back and a lazy eye that I call Quasimodo

Hi, Mitch this is Mike I bought 2 hypo pink ally snappers from you few years ago at T.T. Are all the phases basically the same being that they are normal turtles except that they are lighter/different in color unlike an albino? I never fully understood why some call them leucistic or if there even is a leucistic ally snapper. I had the impression that they are all hypo pink and that there isn't a leucistic alligator snapper. Correct me if I'm wrong.

John richards at turtleman.com has them for 200 plus shipping, you'd have to ask him for it its not on the website. I'm going to order a couple soon as I get this color morph thing all sorted out.
 
"Mike" and Craig,
This is a classified ad - if you want to interact with anybody other than the OP, please take it to PM.
Also, Mike, please stop using that account. The policy on this site is one person per account; please register your own account.
 
Harold,

This is my post and I am trying to see who knows anyone who is selling different ast morphs. Not sure how anyone is violating anything? Can you please explain what is being done wrong?
 
I was specific about who I was addressing, and what the problem was.
This is a classified ad. The primary reason that it is open to posted responses is to facilitate communication with you, toward the goal of making a transaction. Other members having their own separate interactions is viewed as disruptive, and should be taken elsewhere.

If you want to discuss different morphs in general terms, that really doesn't belong here either - it is better suited to the discussion forum. If somebody offers you something, and you ask for details; that is, of course, allowed...but others chiming in can lead to the same problem because they are responding to the conversation, not the ad.
