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

    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.

Hey all I just wanted to share my experience with these guys. I saw another BOI they had a good guy report so I decided to get ahold of them because my previous supplier raised the price. Don't get me wrong I still got love for em but I have a considerable number of mice I order per month. Anyway I got in touch with them and I was very happy with the rodents. The shipping cost was a bit more but they sent it overnight instead of 2 day but I still got about 100 more mice for the price I paid before. Nice variety even within packages which with all the animals here is a good thing to have different sizes. The rodents are packed very well and vaccum packed nicely. They are fat, fresh healthy lookin mice n rats. As always even more important than my satisfaction the snakes approve. I would definitely recommend perfect prey for ppl looking to get rodents at a good price and great quality.
 
The feeder company I have been using was out of stock on most of the sizes I needed so I gave Perfect Prey a try. Their prices were competitive and they offered next day shipping. The quality of the feeders I received was good and they arrived frozen, clean and vacuum packed. I would use Perfect Prey again based on my first experience with them.
 
JUST GOT A LARGE ORDER OF PINKS FROM PERFECT PREY AND ALL I CAN SAY IS WOW! THESE ARE THE CLEANEST PINKS I'VE EVER RECEIVED. NO POOP OR BEDDING AND ALL THE PINKS ARE NICE AND PLUMP WITH ALL THEIR LIMBS INTACT. AND TO TOP IT OFF THEY ARE VACUUM PACKED 50 PINKS TO A BAG SO THEY STACK NEAT IN THE FREEZER AND WILL STAY FRESH LONGER. THE SERVICE WAS ALSO GREAT! THANKS PERFECT PREY!
 
Hey guys thanks for finding my thread for me hahaha I was going to add to it cuz I got my feeders last night they had shipped Monday but were stuck at ft Lauderdale Florida because of the weather. I called and talked to Jim and he said to keep in touch and we could square up if they weren't frozen when they arrived. The packing is awesome and they were still rock hard. He was just as happy as me they were ok. This little episode just shows why I have stayed! He was willing to help me through something that was beyond both of our control. And as always every package had rodents on the smaller end to the large end of the category. The variety in sizes is awesome since I have so many different animals I can satisfy everyone. Snake satisfaction =customer satisfaction! Thanks jim!
 
I purchased rodents from another recommended vendor when they were out of some stuff and those feeders were fine but had some feces issues and smelled strongly of urine. Just received another order from Perfect Prey and they seem to have the cleanest feeders you can get. From now I'll order a little in advance because I really like the care they put into their rodents.
 
I just received another feeder order from Perfect Prey and I think they've earned my business from now on. I used to go back and forth with a few companies depending on their prices at the time of my order. I haven't found anyone else that is as consistent with the cleanliness of the feeders, size, packing job and overall value.
It's 92 degrees here today (heat index of 97) and the Fed Ex guy didn't knock so my order sat outside for a little while. I'm pretty impressed that my feeders still arrived ice cold due to their great packing job.
 
Perfect, like the name says

Got my first order from them today, its in the 90's so opted for hold at fedex for pick up - everything was rock solid frozen and packed perfectly. The rodents were good sized and vacuum packed on trays. The current special of free ASFR's basically balanced out the reasonable shipping fee! Placed my order Monday after noon and it shipped same day.
 
They use more dry ice than other companies I have ordered from, and their feeders come packaged better than your steaks from the grocery store. Super clean, great prices, and the only company I order from now.
 
I ordered from Perfect Prey for the first time a few weeks ago. I had always ordered from Rodent Pro in the past and had been satisfied but wanted to try someone else. Perfect Prey's prices were comparable to Rodent Pro so I decided to give them a try. They shipped the next Monday when their website said they would. The rodents were clean and I love the vacuum packed bags which Rodent Pro doesn't do. My only complaint is that the dry ice was almost completely gone and the small pinky mice had started to thaw. They apologized and promised to add more dry ice next time which was satisfactory to me. As long as their prices stay comparable to RP I'll use Perfect Prey again.
 
Adding my input here: Due to all the positive reviews, I decided to give them a try and I am not disappointed! My order arrived a day later than when it was supposed to arrive, and all the rats were still frozen solid. This was my first order with them and it won't be my last!
