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

    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.

This is not all of my chondros, but it is a large portion of them. Had some major financial emergencies come up that require my immediate attention. Check further down for even LOWER pricing on groups.

"Splat"

Sub-adult male Aru-type chondro produced by Rob Worrell in 2001. Was won in the woman's belly-flop contest at Chondrofest '02. Likes to go off feed now and then, but when feeding prefers f/t small rats. Very calm personality.

$900

SH-02035

$850

BK-002

Adult male Biak-type import. Came in as a juvenile two years ago and has done extremely well ever since. Likes to go off feed from time to time like most male chondros do.

$500

Adult male proven breeder Biak-type. Only eats live small or medium rats. Will not take f/t. Nice lime green with some white blotching.

$900

SH-02058

Female PNG x Biak produced by Rico Walder. Feeds well on f/t adult mice, but likes to dangle them for an hour or so before eating.

$900

SR-001

Male Mainland-type. CB'00(not 99, that's what I get for not reading the card first). Eats very well on f/t adult mice.

$650


If you wish to buy the whole group, I will let this batch of six all go for $2,400!!! That's only $400/each of you buy the whole group.

Or, pick any THREE of these animals and get those three for $1400 plus shipping. OR pick any two for $1,000 plus shipping.

These REALLY NEED to sell. I will consider ALL offers at this point, so feel free to make me an offer on individual animals, but I will definitely do better deals for groups over single snakes.

Prices do not include shipping, which is $68 for Delta Dash.

Unfortunately, due to the circumstances I am in right now, payment plans are not much of an option. All animals will come with feed/shed/defecation data, and when available full pedigree information.

Payments I accept are postal money orders, personal checks(must clear before shipping), and PayPal. Money Orders will need to be sent Overnight, which I will deduct from the purchase price.

Thank you very much.
