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

    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.

Really why all the different names with same morph?

If someone is lucky enough to prove out a new morph I woud think they would have every right in the world to name it as they wish. As far as the combos ( spider butter pastel ect ) yeah it may get a little carried away, but if someone is the first to do so I can understand why they would lay claim to it. As far as what appear to be existing morphs shipped in from africa, I think anything imported should be considered " new blood " and for what may be a completely different bloodline I think they have every right to tag their name to it. But this is just my opinion.

EGOS :yesnod:
 
we ALL know that when your male albino produces a clutch youll rename the morph to "HAH! HAH! I FINALLY GOT YOU!!!" Steve :rofl::rofl:

I believe that would be called the "Invisi-ball"

get it? cuz you can't see it!!!


the binos need to eat before they can breed.. HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA



Seriously though.. Some of the names are rediculous.. but some of them are different.. yes, some pairings make the same "morph".. but you can usually tell them apart.. a white snake with blue eyes? why yes, but you can often tell a difference.. not to mention a super cinni and a super black pastel look different, etc etc
 
You may want to stop and think about why the same morph could have different names. Yes, some of the names are all about egos and such. But consider this: You import a morph or a dinker and find it's genetic. Okay, cool, you have your very own morph and you get to name it, so you do. After several more years of breeding, you come to realize that your "new" morph is actually just a different line of an existing morph. Well, now what? You've been selling your morph under your own name. Do you just suddenly start calling your morph by the existing name? You can do that, most certainly, but people are going to be very confused. Sometimes it's good to know what "line" a morph is from. Axanthics are good examples of this. There are four lines of Axanthic (VPI, NERD, TSK, Joliff), but only two are compatible with each other, so it's good to know what line of Axanthic one has. You mentioned there are some compatible Ghosts and some that aren't; ergo, it would be a bad idea to just start calling all of the ones that look the same Ghosts.

Besides, just because it looks the same doesn't mean it actually is. Again, Axanthics are a good example of this. Butters and Lessers may be the same morph...or they may not be. Yes, they both produce BELs, but so do other morphs that look nothing like Lessers or Butters (take a look at Mojaves and Mochas...and Phantoms, since Phantom x Lesser = BELs too). The only way we could know for certain whether they are truly the same morph or not would be to sequence their genome. What if we start calling them all Lessers (or Butters), and come to find out, down the road, they each react differently with a certain morph. Now what? Now we all have to prove out our Lessers/Butters to see which one we have!

Yes, some people are full of themselves. Yes, there can be several different names for the same thing. Some people use different names for the same combo...but I can't think of one off the top of my head that has more than two different (commonly-used) names, and two isn't exactly hard to keep track of (and if it is...then use Google; it's your friend). Don't like it? Well, I don't know what to tell ya. :shrug01: I will tell you, though, that whining about it will do nothing to change it. It's okay for the naming schemes people use to confuse and/or irritate you; it does many people. But your post does come across as sounding like a whiny n00b, which is why some people responded the way they did.

lies!!!!!!!!!! im gunna run that pic threw an exif viewer and out you as a photo shopper! :rofl::rofl:
 
Ok, so you get to name your "special" morph. Who is going to know who named it in a year? Who will care? Who named the "lesser" and the 'butter"? Some morphs I can't tell apart, some I can. :rofl: I can tell if it is a pied or a Mojave or an albino. Does someone have a list that says so and so named this type of snake a Pastel?

I name all my snakes. Most are "yo, poop a lot" or "hey, beauty" or "Dang nab it just EAT!" None of them answer to their names :D

BTW I love your snake.
 
I saw a purple albino retic at an expo and had to have one...I saw a blue eyed leucistic ball python and had to have one....fader gene...hidden gene woma...makes no difference to me what they call it...I have no problems with any of that...for some it's the love of the animal for some it's a blood sport...I can't change any of that or say that im right and your wrong...what I care about is the lack of fellowship and the fact that government agency's are trying to take what I love.....stop all the mudslinging and band together or they will take it all...
