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

    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.

First I must say, I WILL ship first if you have some solid good guy posts and no bad guy ones or if bad guy then you corrected it fast and amicably. If you are well known as someone honest in the community, or have good references from any honest people who have dealt with you. I don't think this is too much to ask! Wouldn't you want the same? Thank you in advance.

Here's what I have to trade as far as snakes, all males:
1.0 Phantom Ball Python, 2015 from American Made Exotics. 500g when last checked
Trade value $120
1.0 Anerytheristic 2015 possible low expression jungle from Green Constrictors. I believe this was a possible het albino, but I can't find the paperwork and I don't trust my brain so I won't for sure cite that in his description. Slow grown, not power fed.
$80 trade value
1.0 Pure Sonoran 100% het leopard boa, also from Green Constrictors. Roughly 4ft male. $150 trade value.

I will personally stand behind his genetics guarantee.
If he doesn't prove out I will refund you in money your trade. But please be prepared to provide evidence such as him locking with a leopard female and that same female with the babies and no leopards. Maybe a note from a vet. I could easily get screwed here so yes I'm taking precautions and I apologize if that bothers anyone.

The list of custom creations we can do is literally so long I can't go over it in one simple post, you'd spend hours having to read through it! Just ask us if we can make it and if it's in our niches chances are strong that we can.

WHAT I WANT in trade:

I am trying to help provide supplies to the shelter I contribute to as well as supplies to our local community to help people in less fortunate situations to be able to keep their pets. So I will make a list but if you can think of anything that you think could benefit a reptile rescue or less fortunate reptile owners don't hesitate to make an offer!

~If you are local, large custom cages for boas and pythons 6-8ft range and also iguanas or larger tegus or monitors, these are always needed. If you have a nice one for a reasonable price, I might just buy!

~Snake Tanks, even aquariums without lids, of all sizes and types including those funky mesh ones

~Heat lamp fixtures

~UVB bulbs, ceramic heat emitters, night bulbs, any heat bulbs

~Hygrometers, thermostat, rheostats, temp gauges

~Substrate or blank/old newspapers

~Water bowls, spray bottles or mist systems, humidifiers, water falls

~fake leaves and decor for the very shy snakes, actual driftwood or other cage decor of any kind. While not strictly needed by the rescue we so like to make the snakes comfortable as well as safe/healthy

~under tank heaters, heat panels basically any type of heat we can find a way to make it safely work for something

~food dishes, rats, insects, alfalfa, anything food related

~parasite deworming kits, cage cleaners, mite preventatives, mite cures, any health items we run into ALL sorts of things working in rescue! Even things you know work and I know work but aren't labeled for reptiles like antibiotic creams, castor oil, bacitracin, for burns, wounds, scale rot... hydrogen peroxide for 1:3 oral rinses... Etc.
some health and care items/supplies should not be shipped so local trade only.
