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

    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.

Multiple 4-foot Boamasters (I have at least four of these available). Asking $100 each.
2 Freedom Breeder racks (pics below). Come with all electrical heating tape, thermostats, all bins. All parts are in working condition, there is some writing on some of the bins. Asking $2000 each.
I also have a very heavy, very large black rack with three large and lengthy bins that was used to house big burms and anacondas (pic below). I do not know what it is called. You can see how large it is next to the fridge. Asking $500.
I also have some other cages, equipment, tanks, racks, bins, etc. for sale but it is too much to list. Anyone who comes to look at anything listed above can take a look when they arrive.

Please allow me 24 hours to reply to inquiries. I am willing to accept trades, but I am particularly looking for African crested porcupines, raccoons, bush babies, and several species of parrot. I am also open to offers but please refrain from low-balling me. These racks obviously need to be picked up so you'd have to be willing to come get them. Please do not offer any reptile trades - I am getting out of the business and won't have anywhere to house them!

Text or call (text is better) (609) 339-4377 and ask for Kate or text (848) 448-8097 and ask for Cody.

Please only reply if you are interested.

Thank you for looking at my ad~! :)
