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

    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 happy with his weight now.

I bought this Super Pastel Sugar from TSK back in May. He was 9 month old when I got him and weighted 120 gram. They told me he is a slow feeder.

I had him for 3 month, he then weight 180 gram. I was really upset at this picky eater. There is no way he will breed for me this season.

My buddy Jason took him home for me a month ago. Now he weighs 500+ gram. Holy !!! Picky eater? I don't think so.

Thanks Jason again

Man this is a thread to drool over!!!! I can't believe no one else has replied!!!
 
He looks amazing! I cant wait to make some super pastels calicos.
9 months and 120 grams? wow! Makes my picky eaters look like pigs.
If you dont mind me asking, where did you get those vanilla YBs from?
 
We went to the LA show. He picked up both the Yellow Belly Pastel and Yellow Belly Vanilla there. They both around 500-600 gram 2010 females. 425 each. Good deal ah?

I found one female same size asking 600, but once I told him Joason's deal, the seller sold her to me for 500. Still not as good.

Yes I bought that super pastel sugar from TSK. He came to me at May, he is August 2010 baby. 9 month old, only 120 gram. They told me he is a slow eater and hatched small. Last month, he was 1 year old 180 gram :(

Now he is over 500 :)

Thanks for those nice words to both of you !

Richard.
 
Beautiful girls Richard, your amassing some neat yb combo females that should produce some amazing combos.

That super pastel sugar is an amazing snake, I love it :)
 
Thank you Jerry. You know how beautiful the girl you sold me is !!! LOL I like her the most so far.
 
Gorgeous snakes Richard. I remember reading your thread on that little guys weight issues. Glad to see that is sorted out ;) Smoking! Best of luck on your future plans.

Regards,

B
