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

    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 think this girl is a calico not a parodox, what do you think. i showed her to a buddy that has calico redtail boas and he showed me a baby that she looks similar to. i know the paradox and the calico are a random co-dom gene but are calicos a type of albino?

Your boa is a paradox. A paradox is an albino. A calico is not.
 
sorry hit the enter button before i could finish, like i said there were 2 in the litter and if it is a parodox both are the most extreme that i have ever seen.
 
Everyone here tries to help out in cases like this. I have also produced a paradox albino and a paradox sunglow. So I know a few things. Good luck with it.
 
I saw a paradox albino with just a couple of albino scales, but it was still a paradox. If you didn't look close you would miss them.
 
not questioning wether you know what you are talking About just trying to figure out what she is and who is right and weather or not a calico redtail is a type of albino?
 
the only thing on her that would even say she was albino would be the eyes, but one is pink and the other is grey which is also a clico trait i was told
 
The word, PARADOX means something that contradicts itself. Therefor an albino boa shold not have any normal pigmentation. Your boa clearly has both albino, and normal pigmentation. So, it is a paradox.
 
Both my paradox albino, and paradox sunglow have two different colored eyes.
 
would you say the amount of pigmentation will change with additional sheds. i have a male parodox but just has black flecking and patches nothing like this.

I don't think so. The boa might get lighter or darker, but only time will tell.
 
I agree, its a paradox. Is it true that a paradox can either be a normal OR an albino? I guess what I am trying to say it, are they more of a "het" than an actual albino when it comes to genes. Meaning it would be Na instead of aa?
