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

    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.

Last call on Hades, my phantom sub adult ball python. I had him posted at $149.99 as that's what I paid + shipping.

Reducing him to $120 shipped for the next two days or $80 locally to the greater Niagara and Buffalo area. I am about to go into treatment for cancer and I have serious complications. I need to get all the extra snakes my family can't take care of for me rehomed, this guy is one of the last three who will be going into shelter if not bought. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing, they are a GREAT rescue but I'm offering him because I could use the money for medical treatment and the shelter could use one less snake to have to care for.

He's eating f/t rat pups, sometimes he prefers adult mice. He eats on Sunday's but I have skipped today in case he's able to be shipped this week, temps willing. It's not too bad right now where I am so it may be possible to ship him before I have to hit the road.

He's got a great temperament and came from American Made Exotics. Originally I was going to breed him to a GHI mojave to produce passions, but, plans change sometimes when serious things come up.

For some reason it isn't allowing me to add pictures right now but I will edit in his photo as soon as I can. He's a really nice phantom. deep blacks, bright light peaks.

There is a possibility I could deliver him along the way from Buffalo, NY to Minnesota. Just check the route... See if you're along the way.

(P.S the other two snakes are an anery BCI male and a female lesser pastel g stripe ball.)

As of Wednesday night I will be away and not particularly reachable until early September, being optimistic. My hubs will be handling anyone currently doing business with me, until I am back on my feet. If that means I part ways with anyone on a payment plan with me, no hard feelings from me, I understand. 2016 just has not been a good year for me. Smh.
