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

    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 would love to introduce a new project that we are working on over here a JHB. This is a brand new mutation and a joint project between JHB Reptiles and Next World Exotics. So the story goes... several years ago Jonathan Dvoretz at Next World Exotics imported a female from Africa and named it the Green Labyrinth ball python, needless to say when i saw the snake about 5 years ago i was amazed at the color and the pattern of the animal. The name Green Labyrinth or Green Labby as we call it was a perfect fit. After 2 seasons of trying to breed the original Labby ball unsuccessful, Jon finally got a clutch from her. The Bee x Labby pairing yielded 3 eggs and out came a labby male which I got the chance to raise up at my facility. I bred the Labby male to a normal female and produced another female Green Labby about 2 years back. This year we have a shot at producing supers from two female Green Labby's. I am extremely excited and humbled to have this wonderful animal in my collection and I can say the same on Jon's behalf. We are both anxious to see how the super form will turn out if there even is one. If not the animal in its Heterozygous form is a great looking snake. This year which I will show in another thread sometime soon in the breeding section we are breeding the male Green Labby to a number of animals and are excited to see how the Labby crosses come out! Pictured Below are all of the Labby's that are apart of this breeding program this year!

Here is the Original Green Labby Female

Here is her son, the proven breeder that we are breeding this year to a couple females for some first time Green Labby crosses!

Finally, here is our males daughter that I produced 2 years back, she is unreal!

So there it is! The Green Labby ball python, Im very excited about the future with this project and hope you guys are as well. Id love to hear what you guys think about the project so any feedback would be great. Keep your eye out, big things to come from these guys.
Thanks for taking the time to check them out. Hope everyone is having a great breeding season.
 
Very nice..interested to see what/if the super form looks like
 
Very cool, and interesting. Looks alot like the "odd" project I have been working with. The morphs are fantastic with my line, hope they are for yours also.

Original "odd" female, along with her pastel daughter and her lesser daughter. Both of these were the only "odds" in their clutches. Not sure if there is a super. Original female is very gravid with a Cinnamon X "Odd" clutch.
