This the boy waiting for Mayhem. He's named Mephistopheles.

=====================
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.

In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site.

OHHHH RICK!!!

Yup, he's a good looking boy. Too bad Mayhem wasn't a little bit older, so he wouldn't have to wait too long. LOL Got him planned for anything in the mean time?
Here's a picture of her, just to see them together.....
Need to get a lot of pictures this weekend. I'm way behind on EVERYTHING! LOL I think she probably looks better now anyway.
How's that Blood doing? And the Motley too?
Oh, and where did you get a $2 handle like Mephistopheles?
I had to read that like three times to make sure I was getting it all.

Either Bryon had Faust fresh on the brain or he thought satan was too common lol
Thats a smokin boa Bryon want to trade him off?
We have his mom anda half sister from another litter we plan on putting him too.
The name actually came from the Ghost Rider movie. It was fairly untypical and the character fit him perfectly.
Thanks but hell no.
The Blood is doing great and we should know about a Mot litter within the next 4 - 6 weeks. The girl is looking thicker than she should typically. Without having seen an ovulation its hard to judge a possible due date. Gotta love breeding season tho.

Beautiful hypos.
Who produced those two?
Are they genetic striped ????
I have a 6.5 footer that is het for Boo Ghost.
I'm not sure if she is genetic striped.
I have to prove her out this year.

I still haven't seen Ghostrider. Shameful ain't it. LOL
I think they'll make a good pair even if the striping don't prove out. But you have to hope that it does pass. LOL That boys oranges really stand out. He have some Hog in his lines? Reduce that black, and those babies will be some bright ones for sure. And who don't like color?
Ashley, I just ain't sure yet about the genetics on my side yet. Mom has a little reverse stripe going, and a few of her young came out with identical tails to hers, a few with more striping then her, and even a couple with reverse stripes running over a 1/3 of their length. A little over a third of the litter had some of that going on. Time will tell for sure.
But it would be nice to have me a Sunglow with a tail like this.
or like this....
or maybe like this one...
A guy can dream can't he? LOL
Good luck with that Motley girl Bry. Hoping you guys hit the odds good on that one. Been wanting me a Mot for a while. May have to put him with my best Sunglow when the time comes.
