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

    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.

moon,

Are you implying that I don't have class? And if so, why?
 
Has it eaten yet? I cant belive your posting it in other places for that price and hasn't eaten and theres a chance it might not even be able to properly take the food down. I'm not downing you for how much your asking because I want to get paid as much as the next guy but at least get it eating so your not screwing someone out of their cash.
 
It has interesting heads, they almost look like corn's heads, but the pattern is totally hognose! Sweet snake.
 
dont let them bother you if they had it they would be asking as much if not more most only live a short while while some live for years try zoos they purchase snakes like that because it brings people in to see it good luck, i know theres a zoo trying to sell a two headed corn snake for about 35000 right now if it hasn't been sold again good luck neat looking snake

Without a doubt, you will be holding on to that snake for a very long time especially at that price...

Although that is a very cool snake, if someone does buy it, it will be a $20,000 novelty... It is worth as much as someone is willing to pay and I hope you do get what you are asking for it...

Again, very cool snake...
 
That will be the best snake for the low maintenance keeper they don't eat much in the freezer right? Its cool don't get me wrong I just don't agree with selling it for that price if it hasn't eaten yet. I hope it has but I remember your kingsnake post saying it hasn't.
 
I would put it on ebay or something. I think that would attract more buyers. In fact, look up the two headed bearded dragon story. I know that they had some obscene offers for their beardie.

Also, for the person who asked how this happened. It was most likely a twin that didn't have the chance to fully separate. It likely didn't get enough moisture as other eggs due to where it was, or maybe at a crucial time in it's development the temp wasn't high enough. It's tough to say, but I wouldn't try recreating this.. or you might just produce a bunch of crippled snakes.

Good luck selling it! It looks pretty healthy to me. I've talked to my boyfriend, and if we were in your position, we would do the exact same thing.

You can't list living animals on eBay.

As for two-headed beardies, there was one for sale on this site just a few weeks ago for around $1,500.
 
Whoever spends 20k on this thing must be really stupid or just not give a crap about money. I'm not downing you or anything for wanting that price, it's not you that is crazy, if someone will pay it then more power to you. Its them being stupid - not you.
Why I say this is cause there is a very small chance this snake will live, not to mention it can never be used for anything other then a conversation piece. If someone wants a conversation piece so bad they should just go get a weird painting or something.
 
Beautiful! I hope it lives a long and healthy life. BTW, We all have different likes and dislikes. There are collectors of this sort of thing. Heck, if money wasn't an issue, I'd buy it myself. Who are we to decide who is "stupid" for buying whatever they buy? Yep, it could be a gamble as to whether or not it survives, but people gamble away billions of dollars in gambling facilities every year.

My family says I'm stupid for buying any snakes. To each his own I say. I also collect rocks, yep, I've even paid money for them. Nope, not rare or hard to find rocks, just interesting shaped rocks that I like.
 
Why are you all hating on him so much? Don't like it? Dont buy it. If the price is higher than its value to someone, then it wont sell and its his problem, not yours. If you really want to hate on someone, there are plenty of sellers here offering wild caught animals that are endangered and have a high probability of being illegally sold, with false paperwork, or legal animals being sold to inappropriate buyers, and other such examples. An object is worth as much as someone will pay for it. That simple.
