=====================
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.

for me, maybe the pied. That is, if Tibor's proves genetic. It's so wacky looking. If you hadn't seen the pics:

I don't even know what those last 2 are and the others listed, I personally am not into because of being crosses or unknown history.

Wow! I have definitely been away too long, that pied is SICK!
The Labyrinth and crystal boas are from Jeff Ronne, the story is all over Jeff's Facebook page.
what's facebook
lol
lol
Thanks April! 
Here are some pictures of the boas listed in the poll. Notice the labyrinth boa's, notice the color difference, there is NO hypo mixed in there. That is just the color difference you can find in one litter.
Here is info on the Labyrinth/Crystal boas ---- > http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=tr4NYlhXoe0

I don't think Tibor's boa is a pied. I think it's the Motley gene being weird again. I suppose we'll see, but I kind of hate people are calling it a pied when nothiing is proven yet.
That aside, for me, in terms of crazy colorful animals, I think Sterlings are capable of dominating that part of the market. I'm convinced the right breedings can basically make solid red boas.

I didn't know anything about the pied to be honest with you. I talked with a friend and they mentioned adding it to this list. I guess time will tell.
I love the sterling. It's an awesome looking snake with TONS of potential. Vote today!
I think what turns me off from a lot of new "up and coming" potential morphs to is the fact people just share nothing about them.
One thing I really enjoyed about the Sterlings is Ken was really transparent about the whole thing and even gave monthly updates on them.
The Princess Diamond if it proves, is a dead end morph. It's a solid white boa. There's nothing you can really do with it. That aside, there is always the issue that it is claimed to be a Colombian Boa (for legal reasons, that has to be claimed) but I doubt very many people believe it. The hets. look like BCA crosses.
But, I'm just a hater, so it's okay.
Super Roswells are cool, but I like the lightness and color of the Key Wests I have seen better. I've seen too many ugly Het. Roswells because of indescriminate breeding.
Crystal and Labrynth boas I do not know much about because I do not facebook. They look neat though.

Yeah, I talk to Ken quite a bit on Facebook. The sterling project has been awesome to keep up with and now that others have them the project will grow tremendously.
The PD project has been fun to watch, as there have been multiple updates on it as well. But I am sure the project will have some direction but we will just have to see how the genetics turn out.
I almost put the key west boa in the line up but the super form has not been proven or even seen for that matter.
Yeah, I've spoken to Ken a little too about the Sterlings. As of now, they are the only robust and thriving patternless to have been created that we know of.
The Princess Diamond thing has annoyed me for several reasons, some of those stated above. One being that people are buying hets. when supposedly only one actual Princess Diamond exists. It's kind of like the DH Blizzard thing. Hets. for Blizzard have been around for a while, yet no one seems to have a Blizzard Boa.
If PD proves and it is a Lucy, then it is going to just cover any pattern on an animal that exists and you can only really see it under black light (similar to BPs), so, again, dead end morph. You can only do so much with it and that is ... make white boas. Lol
One boa you did not add though and I think you should is the Midnight Gin. I actually think it's significantly cooler than most the others. Yes, it is an all black boa, but a black completely irredescent boa is just ... awesome.
I found a write up on the Crystal and Labyrinth Boas. Interesting animals. Much more interesting than a Lucy Boa.

I think its a cool boa as well, definitely like the ALL black with iridescence, but the poll I have created is for the boas we believe could jump start us into having the most potential to create new morphs. Like for instance, an albino sterling, hypo sterling, super hypo sterling, motley sterling or even a mixture of these.
The Sterling appears to be a morph that removes the pattern though, so a Motley Sterling would probably just look like a Sterling with a weird head.
If you compare the Sterlings to their siblings, you can see that beneath the normal pattern of the siblings, it looks just like the visuals, color and all.
As of now, there is not much reason to think patterns will spontaniously start appearing on the visual Sterlings.

Lol, I get what you are saying. I just was giving some possibilities. Because we really don't know for sure. Don't forget the breeding of the sharp & the boawoman carmel.
