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

    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.

It is not normal for any snake (unless perhaps we're speaking of egg eaters who regurge the shell of an egg) to regurgitate a meal.

Was their anything that could have stressed the animal into regurging (handling, cohabitation, other pets harassing the animal)?

What "medicine" did you give it?
 
Ah-hah!
Well, that certainly answers my question about a possible stress related regurge.

Here is the link to the FAQ that you may want to read over:
http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/forums/showthread.php?t=79519

And a little section that I wanted to specifically point out:
It is not recommended to house more then one cornsnake in the same enclosure. The problems that arise from co-habitating include cannibalism, transmission of disease and stress. It is better to avoid a problem then create them.

sorry guy's but i don't wanna sound smart %&$ but not i was talking about the adults no about the babe's ( the babe's are in a small tank's now they eating now) my adults are in a rack's of plastic boxes, good ventilation, etc. never happened to me and no, no handling, cohabitation, other pets harassing the animal. about the medicine i have to ask the veterinary i was talking last Sunday

Tanks

The frequency of feeding could very well be your problem. Although corns have a relatively high metabolic rate, feeding an adult corn two meals only a few days apart is physically stressing. The snake had not even fully digested it's meal from Saturday when it was fed again on Tuesday.

You also indicated that you medicated the snake to deparisitize it a week ago. In addition to killing the baddies, the beneficial gut flora of the snake is also going to drop off. One week is not enough time for them to have replenished themselves.

In short, you overfed it when it was physically incapable of digesting frequent meals. Let it go a week to a week and a half without a meal, and then give it something small.
 
lol sorry guy's maybe my word are that clear, the meal's are one time a week and yea i medicate my animals a week ago plus the pic yea ebry Saturday i move all the corns whit a empty stomach to a 55 gallon tank so i can clean the racks that i have all my snakes, and for FragginDragon what do u smell bull $#%$? because i post here to try to learn no to impress no one tanks guy's for you replays

No wonder your snakes have parasites. How many of your snakes did you give medicine too?
 
my snakes don't have parasites i have the results today and are clean and why u say no wonder? i just have the snakes a month ago and i give a medicine because i don't know if it came clean or not are in quarantine room now and if my questions bother you guy's i will never ask Tanks eny way

Juan
 
Ok, let me make sure I'm understanding...

• You feed once a week (which is good)
• You medicated all of your snakes a week ago even though you didn't know they had parasites (did your vet recommend this? I can't imagine a vet providing medication and telling you to use it if their wasn't a reason for it. Did your vet tell you what type of medicine it was?)
• Your snakes came back negative for parasites (also good)
• You had a regurge in one of your snakes on Tuesday
 
yes that what happend thats why i was little worried because i read almost the all forum's try to came up whit a explanation whit out asking you guy's

Tanks
Juan
 
I said "no wonder" because each week, according to you, you put your snakes (which are in quarantine) into the same enclosure. If any one of them had parasites, then you putting them into the same enclosure will guarantee that the others will get them too.
 
yea but i have to put it only to cleaning the racks, but after all no parasites came up in the results that i have from the vet, all eating good im going to keep them 2 more week's before to put it in the room i have for all my snakes but i was worried about one trow out the mouse after 3 days i don't even touch my snakes only when i clean the racks and thats saturday's before dinner time.
 
Their are other things besides parasites that make quarantine important.

Do a search on "crypto" for example. I have a friend whose entire collection was wiped out because she sent a few out on breeding loan to someone whose collection was infected and he didn't know it.

No one can help you if you can't provide the information that's been asked.

• Did your vet recommend treating for parasites even though their was no positive results?
• What type of medicine was used?

Read again post #9 were Ken mentions that a sensitive stomach can be from the parasite treatment.
 
Ivermectin 2 drops in a gallon of water
he told me to try because are new snakes and i don't know how bad they came and after disparates them i came out clean snakes
and yea last Tuesday trow out and today she eat good
thats one pic of my cage's
