=====================
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.

Responding to email notices you receive.

In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them.

Grrrrrrr.... they HAVE to pop soon (Picture Heavy!)

We need pictures Katie! Hurry and get back! lol
thanks guys!! this truly is killing me, and I'm pretty sure the boyfriend is a bit more than a little disgusted that I've said I want to go home (5 days early) from paradise to see the babies, LOL. Athena had 22 live, 2 slugs and 2 still born. 10 were hypos, 10 pastel normals This litter was much bigger than last year, with the average baby weighing twice that of her first group in 2009. YAY!!!

Congrats! Sorry I missed the thread. I'm used to getting notified of new threads in this forum, but it quit working. I need to readjust to popping in I guess.
Sounds like a sweet coming home present for sure. And an even sweeter vacation.

So, anyone know what a Lipstick line Sunglow Jungle Paradox would go for? Looks like I have at least 2, maybe 3....
I'll promise to trade you my first born so just send them to me now, okay?
Now I really can't wait to see pics!
LOL - thanks guys Yeah, my friend Aimee had called the night they were born, and told me that 3 was really "special" - so I'm picturing kinks, or something wrong, and she assured me that wasn't what she meant. So I asked her, well, do what is it? normal? hypo? albino? sunglow? and she didn't know... lol. I just thought she was too new to know what she was looking for, and it turns out it was a Paradox. Looking through some other goo pics, there's at least one more, potentially 2

Is that the same Joe the "not so into snakes" boyfriend? muuuhahahahaaha
LOL. Yes, that is the same Joe. that said, even he understands that this snake is worth a bit of cash

Tell Mr. Joe that the reptile community is like "Survivor". He better establish an alliance before he gets voted off. Joe, your woman just came into some snake assets, you better be kissing some
Nope. But I know I'd take one of those over one of Woody's sons any day.
Sounds like a nice homecoming indeed.
