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

    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.

Has anyone done business with this gentleman? I found some old posts from last year and folks who didn't stick around, but am hoping to hear from some of the regulars.

I'm interested in purchasing one of his calicos.

Thanks!
 
Brandon could teach many a few things about customer service. I have bought a few animals from him already and will have two more from him very shortly. Hell he was out of town at a wedding and still took the time to call me back, very few would do that. As for the animals the quality will speak for itself, but I can say I will be buying more from him.

Hope this helps.
 
I have also bought a few animals from Brandon. The animals were great and great customer service for sure. Would not even think twice about buying from him again.

I've never bought from him but have known him for over 6 years. I would not hesitate to buy from him.
 
I have not gotten anything from him either but too have done show with him.. He always has great looking animals..
 
Brandon has sent me nice snakes

I have purchased several ball pythons from Brandon, and all arrived in good shape, and all were great-looking.

Brandon has provided good husbandry advice whenever I asked.
 
Excellent. Thanks for the replies, it's much appreciated.

He doesn't have a web site. He will tell you his business is mostly repeat customers or word of mouth. Very few breeders can do that. He will gladly go through what he has for sale and send pics to you. Here's his contact info for you:

I bought a group of ball pythons from Brandon, his customer service was good. I have an adult pair of fires, an adult female het pied and some poss het pied females. I have 2 problems with the transaction. 1) After receiving the snakes from him I inquired about some adult female normals he had. He said he would get back to me but never did. 2) I never got any paperwork for the adult het pied female, which he said I would get. I actually never got any paperwork for the animals(receipt) The snake I got from him are great and all should be breeding soon.
 
Just want to add my vote for Brandon as a good guy. Just got a nice ball python from him and he was great to deal with. Good communication and flawless transaction. Two big thumbs up.

Cheers

Very good guy to deal with!We have done and are still doing several breeding projects together. I have bought many of my breeders from him. All amazing animals! I have several of his het. pied females as well and trust me there the real deal. This guy is very,very meticulous about his animals!
 
I recently bought a woma male, adult het pied and adult het caramel male from Brandon. All arrived fine and seem to be doing fine. I however agree with the other post regarding paperwork on the het males. I asked during our conversations on the phone, he assured me the paperwork would be sent with the snakes. No paperwork. Since that time I have sent numerous emails regarding the paperwork on the het males. Still no paperwork. I realize it may be of little consequence to him, however my peace of mind is a different story. Because of the no paperwork issue, I decided against another more expensive purchase with Brandon. Dont get me wrong,.... I like him, enjoyed our conversations, and would buy from him again( as long as it was a non het purchase) I didnt even want to bring this up on the forum, but seeing as others are considering buying I felt it was the right thing to do.

I've got a deal going with him right now for a nice 08 caramel female and a black pastel female that's outta this world. I'll check in here again once they arrive.
 
Good guy

Brandon is top notch in my book. I bought a female fire from him not too long ago and I just received a male fire and a male low white calico from him a couple of days ago. He has great animals and shipped my animals same day air. He definitely knows how to take care of his customers.
He answers phone calls a lot faster than emails. I know recently he was overwhelmed with emails since he just had a huge sale on his animals, but he answered my calls almost always on the first attempt.
 
I am in the process of paying off a snake. But getting an e-mail from him is next to impossible. He is pretty easy to reach by phone though.I am ready to get through with this.I do'nt like owing people money.
 
Should be a safe deal

I purchased an animal from him this year and he did everything he said he would. He called me several times and seemed to really care. He also went out of his way to acommodate my shipping schedule. One of the better people i have dealt with, George
 
Has anyone been in contact with Brandon lately? I'm having a tough time getting hold of him to get him to ship the $1500 in snakes (caramel albino and black pastel females) I bought from him and paid for almost a month ago.. No reply to email and no answer on the phone number.
 
I talked to him on the phone about 2-3 weeks ago. He's terrible with the e-mails, and is sometimes spotty with the phone. I'd just keep trying.
