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

    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.

Is there anyone in the New Orleans area who would consider selling a small quantity of C.Adamanteaus venom? Fresh or freeze dried will do. Please feel free to call me at your convenience or email me at [email protected] . I will also be needing a small quantity of A. Piscivirous in the near future.

Thanks

I believe

this is an illegal request unless you are licensed along with the person selling to you. In which case you would already have access to venom's and those producing it.
 
Illegal Venom

I don't know of any DEA or other law forbiding the sale of venom for research or any other purpose for that matter. If you think it is illegal don't sell it. My EDB of 12 years passed away and I am out of venom. The government has its nose in every other part of our lives so I guess it wont be long untill they tell the private research groups what they can and can not do research on.

Proctor and Gamble are buying all they can get their hands on because of its stain removing power! someone should tell them.

John.....In the name of research I'll sell you venom. Thats if you can't find any locally. Whats with all this talk about Proctor & Gamble? Tell me more.

About a year ago a Rep from Proctor and Gamble contacted me and wanted to purchase all of the EDB venom I could supply them with. They said it had amazing stain ( Especially blood ) removal properties and they were researching it in their lab. I only had one EDB and she produced enough for my use only.
I talked with a few other friends who actually did sell P&G some venom, what has come of it I really do not know.

As for me I would like to buy a gram or two fresh or freeze dried. Give me an address and your price and I will get it to you. Please be advised that I need Eastern Diamondback venom only at this time. I will need Cotton mouth venom in the future should the EDB fail. My research has to do with Herpes Zoster ( Shingles ) pain. So far it is very promising.

Thank you for your time
Joel
 
Joel, I would be very interested in hearing about this research. Every once in a while my husband's shingles act up and he is great pain when it does. I wish you much luck in the research!
 
EDB venom for nerve pain

Please do NOT misunderstand me, I do not advocate the use of venom for anyone for any condition.
I am afflicted with Herpes Zoster ( shingles ) I have used every medication on Earth. The amount of pain killers that I was using would kill an average human so I had nothing to loose, the pain was so bad a dirt nap sounded good.

With out going into detail I started using micro grams of EDB venom subcutaneously along the affected area and my use of pain killers and other drugs has been reduced by 75%.

My doctor said I was in remission but if I stop taking the EDB venom the pain is back up by 75% or more. PLEASE do NOT go out and try this on yourself or anyone else, a life threatening reaction is a very real possibility, the only reason I tried it is because I had been bitten four previous times over twenty years and I was unable to tolerate the anti-venom then so I figured Cro-Fab might be safe and when dealing with micrograms the risk was acceptable to me.

All my best goes out to your husband only GOD and myself know the pain he feels at times, you folks will be in my prayers.

Truly yours
Joel
 
Wow, Joel.. I'm so sorry to hear about your constant pain. I used to get chronic migraines so bad I had to go on disability for a while. Couldn't even take care of myself...

My husband is in remission, hasn't had a breakout for a while, thank goodness. I hope yours goes away very soon. *hugs* Take care.
