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

    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.

I recently acquired this girl and I am back and forth on keeping her. She is about 9ft and very thick. I am trying to downsize some of my boas due to space, but every time I get her out, I reconsider. Not sure what is going on with her...any ideas as to what she is (I know, a big redtail...haha). I am thinking salmon, had someone say she looked like a super salmon. In the first photo she is pictured with a hypo male (her tail is the top) and to the left. These pictures really due no justice, but they are the best I have right now. Will email larger pictures or text them to anyone interested in helping. Thank you.

She's a normal boa with some funky markings. She does look like she might be a hypo sibling, but she's not a hypo.

She almost looks like a jungle to me because of some of the markings she has. Good luck!
 
Looks like standard issue Colombian X Central
The ventral coloration suggest maybe Hog or even Nic,either way
its really nothing.

What it is,is a living animal that should be afforded reasonable care
 
About the pics

I had a 6 ft red tail that died on me this past saturday, a few days before that she was taken to a few vets to get look after, all 3 vets said the same thing, its an infection in the snake, the underbelly of your snake is identical to the same markings that was on mine, get it looked after cause before I knew it she was dead.
 
Shes a normal. not a jungle, and not a hypo.
 
I think its a BCc/BCi cross myself. Reason being I just see too many similarities to the ones I have. The funky markings and the highlights that surround them, the color also. Got a top view of the head?

But not Hypo or super IMO

[EDIT to add photo]

This is a non hypo cross in my collection to show what I mean

MJ is their mom, her background is unknown, except she got too big for the class room. She has Colombian markings and the shape of a BCc, according to some, and keys out BCc as well. So it's an educated guess, if that's worth anything. LOL

But I have seen similar markings with known BCc x BCi crosses, that also lends to my belief. Here's Mom...
