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

    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.

Looking for: Male AND Female red blood pythons. I am not looking for a particular morph (though het albinos would be nice, I do not expect much more) but I do want NICELY TEMPERAMENTED and NICELY COLORED reds. I do not want imported smudgey browns-to-be babies either. Babies are fine if you can show me pictures of their parents (both parents,) otherwise they must be old enough to have their colors starting to come in.


For Trade:
Female Dumeril's Boa - Nice female, not sure of the year, but she is still young yet at only 3 feet. She is a little timid and has a tendency to run, but once handled for more than a few seconds off the ground, she calms down and becomes a very sweet snake. I work with her daily. She is nicely contrasted with gorgeous colors. Granted I am not a fan of dumeril's boas, but she was pretty enough that I actually wanted her. Eating f/t rats every time no problem. In fact her feeding response is pretty excited, stay out of the way, she has a tendency to slam herself and her food around!

Male 100% Het Clown - Produced by Mark Petros of ballpython777.com. Unfortuanetly I got this guy when I was new to snakes (and ball pythons were the only snakes I knew) and I did not ask for paper work. If you want I can try to get some from him now. He is a little small for his age because for the longest time, he was a terrible eater. He is now eating f/t small rats every time. He does not strike, however... you have to just set it in his cage and leave it, or else he will want nothing to do with it.

Female Argus Monitor - A small female (we are talking just a bit bigger then a ferret small) that has laid two eggs for me since her arrival.. how long she has been laying them, I don't know! She arrived in rather bad condition but her wounds have healed (except one, which she keeps busting back open with her activity, but it is still making progress) and is gaining weight rapidly. She is not a biter at all, but she is rather squirmy being handled. After some time she will calm down and sit with you. Feeding on a diet of f/t mice and rats. She is missing a few claws and the very tip of her tail. Other then that she is spectacular. I have been working with her to keep her favoring humans but now that she is almost fully recovered she has a lot more vigor, and while she is not a biter, she will spend a lot of energy trying to escape you for a long time. If you want a handleable argus, she can become one if you put in the work I am sure. If you want an active and curious display lizard... there is nothing this lizard won't explore and nothing she will not do witht he things she finds! As mentioned she is also already laying eggs. I do not suggest breeding her just yet since she is recovering from being so skinny, but when she is ready, she should produce for you if you have a nice boy to put her with.
