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

    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.

Some here may have seen me trying to sell my last litter of my Dodoma's in the classifieds here and how I stated one came out pattern less but it had a kink in the tail.
I was not selling this baby in fact I was selling the litter mates at a crazy $125.00 and not one of them sold and I am sure glad they did not sell and guy's who asked and did not buy them now probably will be kicking there self in the you know what if they read this because in this new litter there was two that are shown in the photo that came out with pattern less markings on the tail so it must be a trait.
Cool!

That's really cool. I'm not sure I would go so far as to called them piebald, but it certainly does look something like the "ringers" we see in ball pythons. Except in ball pythons ringers don't tend to be genetic. These are amazing looking boas!

Very true. I think there is a gentleman with a line of champagne that consistently throws ringers. I am sure he is a member here. I can't remember his name off the top of my head though. Idk, however, if he would consider it any form of reliable transmission. Or maybe more of a line bred trait.

I am curious if OP, has noticed any specific percentage of the litter possesses these traits?
 
thanks guy's.

The first litter one had the white miss markings and faded tail markings and the second breeding two out of the litter had white markings and the black markings faded near the tail section.
 
Michael, those types of questions are not allowed in the discussion forum, please contact the OP via private message with that type of inquiry.
thank you
