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

    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.

Hey all,

I have a question. I just got my rack system yesterday its the MCB-S wide version from reptile Basics and I got it all set up no problem. I did not put any snakes in it yet coz I want to make sure it works properly, I did put waterbowls in there with water like I would if the snakes were living it it. Now I had it set at 92 for day 75 at night. There is a bunch of humidity building up in the tubs and the paper is moist. Is that saposed to happen? I just want to make sure I am doing this right and not going to harm my snakes. Any knowladge that you could pass along to me about the proper use of racking systems would be greatly appreciated. :shrug01: Thanks so much
Shannon
 
Any chance you may be spilling the water bowl when you slide the tub shut? Silly question but it got me once :O
 
They all get condesation on the front of the tubs wet,My BPs like high humid so I dont care mine have been like that for years you may want to drill holes to adjust the levels of humidity.
 
That is a possibility. I do recall seeing a damp spot on the paper. Now let me ask this. sorry for the questions I am new to racking systems and I want it to be right. If the temp in the room where I keep the rack is already at 80 degreese do I still set if for 92 during the day? And is that 92 degreese only near the heat tape or does it make it 92 degreese inside the tub?
 
Ok Maybe I will drill holes. I see a lot of racks that have holes drilled in them near the top. That should not be a problem. I mean they are baby boas and I know humidity is good for sheding and what not. Thanks
