New member here. I want to make a spot on the ball python classifieds to sell my ball pythons. How do I do that?

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

Its ok on not getting back to me asap because I have been busy on this end too. It is possible that the second clutch is also infertile. You should be able to see a small blood spot inside of the eggs with in 24 to 48 hours. With my girls, its there as soon as they lay. Wait a few days and then candle them again just to make sure. If there is no blood spot or veins, then put them in a baggy and set them in the freezer to make sure. Only do that if there is NOTHING. Just had a friend go through the same thing with her female too. More then likely the male might be shooting blanks. If he is, then there might be some health issues you might want to look into with him. If he was a rescue then you might want to have him vet checked. Let me know what happens. As for the girls, I am soo happy to hear they are doing really well. The lucys mom Daphney had me really scared for 2 weeks because she started laying eggs, but she held them in to long. I didnt know she was gravid again, so I put her in with the other girls and it caused stress issues. She is now in her own enclosure and finally passed the last three eggs, but I had to throw the eggs out. I didnt care as long as she was ok. She is putting back on the weight and doing great, so thank god for that. She is my baby first and foremost. So I know what you mean when you say you were busy. LOL
Hey Justin, thought I would stop by and ask how the girls are doing and how the eggs are. Well if you get time let me know. Thanks, Andrea
LOL Thats ok then, you can leave me one on my visitor messages. That will be just as good to me. Thanks Justin and I am soo glad you like the girls.
Click on the #1 in () it should let you do it then.
Very cool. I can tell you Andrea got one of Daisy's best from her 1st clutch. I have proven her sisters can make some beautiful babies already. You won't be disappointed.
Your girls have been shipped! Let me know as soon as you get them please! I want to make sure they are alright. Thanks, Andrea
thank you
Hey good luck in your new dragon, she is a beuty. -
