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

    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.

Hey Rick, here are some post shed pictures of your new boy I've been meaning to get to you :) Just thought I'd share them very publicly, LOL

He's looking sweet too. Love his base tone. Looks like he's gonna be high in the yellow dept. :thumbsup:

Sorry I ain't been on much lately. Life has sorta decided to kick in and is trying to overwhelm me with BS and responsibilities.

Thanks for the update. Looking forward to growing him up. :D
 
BTW, this is the lady I have tentative plans to hook him up with when the time comes. My Coral (<---I think) Sunglow lady, Rosy...

I think they'll make a good pairing myself. :yesnod:
 
The parents were Sydney, my lipstick albino female, to LeRoux, my Hypo jungle, now proven het albino male. He's also possible jungle, and while I'm inclined to believe he's now proven as a jungle, I'm marketing the babies as possible jungle as well, as I have heard very mixed answers as far as whether these are abherrant babies, or actual jungles as well. So, alas... who knows, lol. I was also fortunate, and got three very awesome paradox babies from this litter as well. Individual pre-shed shots of the babies are on my other thread "baby boas" as well

Here are some pics of the parents:

no problem with that at all!! In fact, I can get you some much better pictures in the next couple of days, with this nice weather, and get mom and dad, and even little Tarzan (if that's really what you're calling your little man, lol) out in the sun. And, as as many questions as you'd like, I'll do my best to answer

sounds good!! I'll probably try and get the pictures this Sunday (tomorrow). I'll need some reinforcements with LeRoux - he's a biter, LOL. He's a big male too - easily 7 feet, and his teeth leave marks and bleed, lol. but, he makes beautiful babies, so I put up with his antics.
