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

    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.

    Motley x Motley breeding question

    I was wondering if it's ok to breed an unrelated albino motley to a motley het albino? I couldn't find anything recent on super motleys and don't know of the current situation. If there's any chance of producing unhealthy babies I would rather do an albino motley x sunglow breeding.

    Unusual Bumble Bee!

    I hatched out this clutch from my Clown x Bumble Bee pairing. One of the bumble bees is much brighter and cleaner than the others. I'm thinking there's something going on with it, like a fire type gene that cleans it up. Any thoughts?

    Clown x Bumblebee pairing.

    I paired these up on my birthday, 2/24/14 and they've been locked ever since. They're in a better position now with tails tangled up and copulation was observed. I breed GTPs, but this is my first time breeding BPs. Any suggestions or links to a good breeding timeline? How long do you keep the...

    What's your openion on Het x Het breeding?

    I want to concentrate more on breeding Clown combos but still trying to figure things out. Is it worth it to do a Lemonblast Het Clown x Lesser Het Clown breeding? It seems like the chances to get a clown combo are slim, 1/32. But, the chances of getting a normal are the same! So doesn't this...

    Blushing Lesserbee

    This is Brownie, my 2012 female Lesserbee. She's 1500g now and I'm trying to figure out when to breed her. Should I wait until she's 2000g, and will that increase her chance of laying more eggs? Also would like some opinions on which male to pair her with. Should I go with a Clown, Silver...

    Banana or Coral Glow?

    Hi all, I've been thinking about getting a male and have some questions. Which is nicer, if there's any difference, Banana or Coral Glow? Are either mutation known to have genetic problems? Should I go with one sired by a Banana, and is that considered a male maker? Should I go with a combo that...

    THG heat tape

    What's everyone's opinions on this new heat tape? I like the rivets they use which seem to be as secure as soldering. But I'm not sure if the thicker copper bus bars are as good as the silver coated flexwatt. Will these last as long without problems? I like the idea of more consistent temps, but...

    Help needed with skin issue.

    I recently noticed that one of my ball pythons has a few discolored scales right under his chin. They should be white but they are brownish colored and there is some swelling. He is very active and always wedging himself between the tub lid to open it. Could this a bacterial or fungal infection...

    Can low temps cause diarrhea? I've read it can cause regurgitation, but not much out there on runny stools. Also, what temps do you shoot for at the hot end in you racks?

    Growth Rate

    I started my BP collection a few months back & was wondering if their growth rates are typical. Most of my females are growing consistently fast so I'll just give one weight example. On 1/3 she weighed 194g, on 5/27 she was 502g, and today she was 698g. The males are growing much slower, which I...
