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

    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.

Ok, so like the title says I have an '09 male bee for possible trade, he is feeding on adult mice or equivalent size rat pups 1 every 5-7 days and he was 249 grams on the scale just a couple days ago on empty. I got him with plans to use him in my projects but have since decided to go a different route with my ball breeding plans though it will not hurt me in the least if I keep him so no BS offers please. I have had him for a month or so and he has had 4 feedings here with me and has shown no signs of any wobble and has a great disposition and overall a very healthy boy.

As far as trades go Im interested in other ball morphs male & female or possibly a very nice colored chondro prefer to be handleable. If you would like additional pics or have any questions feel free to ask.

Thanks for looking,

Jeff Wyatt

what kind of projects are you interested in? and what $$ trade value are you putting on him, so I don't offend you? lol :)
 
Hi Katie,

I have his value in the $550 range. Id really like a nice male or female butter or lesser in the 400-500 gram range or an equivalent size mojave female but Im open to offers so don't be shy, the worst I'll say is no thanks.

Thank you for your interest,

Jeff Wyatt
 
I currently have a male het BEL vin Russo male (het White Diamond) 2009 available, would that interest you?
 
I was checking him out earlier and though he is an extremely nice looking boy Im really not into the lucy's and have no interest in producing them so I will have to politely decline your offer.

Thanks,

Jeff
 
Any interest in Chocolate females? I also have a male Chondro with a decent disposition and a few other things. Let me know.

Thanks,
Kenneth

Hi Kenneth,

I am currently talking over a trade with someone and if that doesn't work out I will be sure to get back to you.

Thanks for your interest,
