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

Hi Lee,
I just had a clutch from a Harlequin male X normal female (very muddy). I was really surprised by how much the Harlequin cleaned up this breeding. The majority of babies i would say are actually Harlequins as the color and patterns on them are similar to my Harlequin pair. I would say that you would get some very nice Harlequin Pastels/Pastel Harlequins however you want to put it i guess. As far as the stripe, i don't know. My female has 4 or 5 connected tail saddles that kind of looks like what yours has going on in the picture. Good luck though, they will be beautiful babies.

Hey Lee, remember when talking about hets there is only 100% het or not het. When a snake is advertised at 66% or 50% it means that 66% or 50% of the litter is 100% het and the rest are normals. When some people refer to an animal as 33% het it just means they took an animal from a 66% possible het (unproven het) litter to a normal so your boy is either 50% or 100% het or completly normal. Good luck with him
If you have an animal that is possibly het for a given trait, you want to get the right partner to prove that trait, or disprove it, so you can properly list the offspring. If you have babies listed as possible het because one of the parents is possible het, then you later prove that parent isn't het, then none of the offspring you sold as possibly het, are.
A lot of people buy the possible hets in hopes to hit the odds and create the mutation they are after. Some would likely think you deceived them at a later date if they saw the parent wasn't het after all. Where I'm going is...know what you have, and what the probable outcome will be, before even entering "breeding" into the equation. You can better plan things, and protect your reputation some.
Answer to your question, you would get some more Harley's and some normals. I won't put a % as to the possible stripe thing. You have no way of proving it with that pair.
