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

    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 guys! I did it again lol. I got this noodle from *big breath* a pet store lol. They couldn't sell her because she was so mean even the employees wouldn't get her out. I got her fine lol. Anyway....the label said "Fire Yellow Belly"
What do you guys think?
Ps, the shed will come off in no time. She's in quarantine nice and humid to help with that.

Fire perhaps, but unfortunately not seeing the YellowBelly flames on the sides.

Your new snake seems to have too much solid black vs. faded smoky flames on the sides, in my opinion.

This is my "supposedly" fire girl
She looks like a normal to me, but I was told she was a fire. She's a very light tan/gold color

Top of the head usually is a good indicator. The distinct light mark helps out, unfortunately you can't tell in the picture of her eating.
Here is normal Ball python head, no mark. (not my picture)

"Noodle" looks like a possible fire to me, not 100% sure. I don't see firebelly. The bright colors, head marking and "ragged" alien eyes suggest fire. The lack of flames makes me doubt the yellowbelly. I sometimes have difficulty identifying yellowbellies though. Unfortunately both the fire and yellowbelly morphs are very subtle and it's difficult to pick them out without having clutchmates to compare and without knowing what the parents were.
