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

    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.

Jesse Underhill

I recieved the last $100 dollars from Jesse!!!  This is very much a relief.  
I am a little worried though.  This 'Jenny Robertson' from the non-existant pet store is selling some high priced boas in the classifieds... As a Jesse supporter and with very similar writing styles, I can't help but question 'her' integrity, if indeed this other person exists.
 
We haven't been around here too see everything was on vacation.Are place is half mile east fo Shar's Country Palace.The Boa we have for sale are from a breeder in Texas .If you look on Kingsnake they are on there too Terry Lilley is helping us sell or trade them.When I have time to read all the post I'll reply.Jenny
 
egads.....

GRAMMAR PLEASE!!!!

go back and finish school so you can communicate with the rest of us.
 
Jenny,
PLEASE post the address of this pet store.  I have a friend in Rochester who is willing to check it out.  The only thing close to a pet store I've been able to find in the area is Rochester Feed & Supply - not quite Fish and Critters.
Also, you say that you get your snakes from a wholesaler in the cities?   I live in Minneapolis.  Who would this be?  I am not aware of any here.  I know Jeff Ronne's in the area, but he's a breeder and I don't think he sells wholesale, though I am not positive.  If you are going to post, be prepared to back up your claims.  When you associate yourself with known scammers, don't be surprised if people don't trust you either.

I am going to school to learn english and grammer I have only been here for 4 years.I am from La Huerta Mexico my husband James owns the business.Jenny
 
I do not mean to disrespect the origin of this thread....my apologies April......BUT

Hey Jenny if that picture is your picture...?
Damn....your husband is a lucky guy....

okay I fell better now...Back to the original topic everyone...
 
Yes that is me Latina all the way
I'm new too all board stuff here and I see why the board is here.But from the time I have been here helping my husband Jesse Underhill has never scammed us everything he has sold us has proved to be it so far.I have seen his place and he had a lot of reptiles here when we're there.so Please don't take me helping him we've just have had good luck with everything he sold us.We are just started to try the internet for reptiles and from what I have read on here makes us look bad and everyone thinks bad of me.I should have wrte I was not very good at writing and english that would have saved everyone from writing learn grammer.Jenny
 
Hi Jenny. Welcome to the land of opportunity! What was that address for your pet store?  I think you are supposed to put your last name on all your posts.
 
Jenny,
So you've been here for 4 years and haven't had problems with Jesse in that time, yet you said earlier that you've been buying from him for 10.  <img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'>
You may be trying to distract people with your pic, but the facts remain:
1.  We all know Jesse doesn't have these snakes
2.  You claiming that he does and you've seen them means you are lying
3.  You're pet store doesn't exist so far and you refuse to post the address
4.  $5000 is a lot of money, and for someone to have such high-priced animals but is just discovering the internet doesn't make sense - especially in Rochester, MN - there isn't really much of a market for that there

As a start, you need to post the address if you want me to let this go.  I don't want anyone getting scammed the way I did.
 
yes I have for 4 years now My husband been buying from him for 10 years.sorry i did not make that clear for you Are place is out of are basement and we don't sell to everyone either  it is 4745 Marion Rd SE third of mile pass highland ridg SE.Why would I be lying?I did see his his reptiles.For the internet we never purchased any over it we've have known about it we always bought them from shows or from the ads in the reptile magazine.You think he dont have anything but have you seen them?or anyone on here have?i think everyone should be open till they seen or know the truth.that is all i'm saying i know what i seen there just because you think you got ripped off when you may have been wrong you payed 800 for them snakes when my husband payed 1800 for his and they produced albinos this year. I think alot of people just post things without even known the truth or even that person in question but i may be wrong all i know is that we've had good dealings with him and will still buy from him.You don't need to chew my ass for saying what i know and have seen.Jenny
 
I live close enough such that I could have seen Jesse's collection.  He didn't want me to go to his house.  He wasn't able to bring any albinos with as proof - said he didn't have any left, but he would give me pics he took.  They ended up being pics stolen from Ralph Davis.  There was NEVER a time when he's been able to even show a picture that he didn't steal off someone else's site of ANY albinos, let alone piebalds.  So you're right.  Nobody has seen them.  Why? Because they don't exist!  He's NEVER been able to prove that he's owned any morphs he's claimed. Why is this?

Yes, I did get ripped off.  Why else did he lie about the ages (first they were 2 & 3, then both 5, then both 2 yrs old)?  Why did his story change about whether or not they were proven?  I think that the female was even WC - she had quite a bit of scarring.  Why can he not show proof of who he originally bought them from?  Where did his albinos/piebalds come from?  I'm sure breeders have records of who buys their snakes.  All these things lead me to believe that they were not hets, either.

It may seem like I'm jumping down your throat, but I just can't believe you.  $5000 is a lot of money, and I wouldn't want to see someone ripped off if I could've prevented it.  I can't help but think that you are Jesse's new scheming buddy.  I don't think anyone on this board would buy from him directly, but if he could get someone else to do the dirty work, they can just put the blame on someone else - maybe an imaginary bad partner?  This is just TOO suspicious for me.  

BTW, does the pet store/basement you own have a sign?  Fish and Critters?  Or should my friend just knock?  If my suspicions are not justified, then I'm sorry.  It's just that you show up out of nowhere just to defend Jesse, then try to sell some expensive snakes - hets, no less.  You've seen his 'collection' and are supporting his lies.  This reflects on your being trustworthy...
 
You Know there is a Fish and Critters in Gainesvilel, FL and that name is copyrighted by the owner.....so I think ya'll are violating the copyright law.

Thanx

Winston

Jenny...it is good you guys have good dealings with him...
but think about this....
The guy has tons of money to buy albinos and such...
He had tons of money to buy a NONEXISTENT $25,000 albino surinam...
He had tons of money to buy snow boas for his kids....
He had tons of money to buy a new Harley....
He had tons of money to buy a new SUV for his wife....
But yet it takes him forever to pay back $800?
He has tons of money....but he has to steal pictures and pretend they are his?

how can you be a pet store and not sell to everyone?
How can you be a pet store and be run out of someone's basement?

So You have been selling for ten years...?
Or at least buying for ten years?

You have been purchasing at shows and at stores.....and you have been doing it for ten years...

Then you either have a lot of customers....OR....you have a lot of reptiles in your basement....AND..........you have one hell of a big basement

go ahead and give us a couple of your references of the people you have sold too.......
 
I'm thinking about those anery het for snow that you want $5,000 for. Who produced them? It should be on the paperwork that you have to prove their genetics. Maybe you are not aware of the scams that Jesse Underhill aka. Jesse Jason (aka boababe?)has been pulling on people but he sold het boas and anerys that were normal for big bucks!!! He is a liar and a thief and you claim you know him and he is a good guy??? BULL. He stole every picture on his website, he conned people out of their hard earned money and his only defense was "my partner did it"
 You should offer up some proof pronto!
 
Hey Ritchie You do realize there was an Albino Suriname Boa pure Bred that Ben Siegel sodl to someone...
just wanted to piotn taht there is an exisiting pure albino suriname

Thanx

There are Three albino surinams we know of....
One is in Europe somewhere...
The other is in the states...
The third is in Jesse Underhill's IMAGINATION
 
Come on Jenny. Lets hear who you bought the $5,000 pr of boas from. You said in your ad you had proof of genetics. Maybe Gino should post his "TOP 10 LIST" of thieves again, w/your buddy Jesse in the #1 spot and you will see why we are skeptical. It looks to me like Jesse found a picture of a female and is using it for a new identity. Casey
 
Folks,
I think it's painfully obvious that Jenny is Jesse. Give it up Jesse.......you must really think everyone here is a total idiot! As Richie pointed out, first they own a "pet store" that nobody can find. Then, it's not a pet store, they sell out of their basement. Jenny claims that her bad grammer is due to her only being in the country for four years, yet it's exactly like Jesse's. No disrespect to immigrants, as both of my parents immigrated from Europe.
Jenny, if your husband has been buying reptiles for 10 years, why don't you tell us his name? I'm sure someone here would know him or at least recognize his name. How come he has never posted here, isn't he the one that has been involved in the reptile business for 10 years?
Go ahead Jesse, come back and post as Jenny's husband (insert fake name here) and set us all straight! lol!
