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

    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.

If you're gonna list an animal for way more than what they list and sell for, best think you'd want to get the binomial right on the listing
 
You're lucky Tek's from Florida and doesn't know what binominal nomenclature means! Oh BTW, the binominal nomenclature is correct. The ssp. may not be but for $4200 you should know what you're buying! Nice red BT Tek! Could use a female when you get one if you have any surpluses.

It is not correct, Drymarchon melanurus rubidus is the binominal for the Mexican Red Indigos or Mexican Red Tail Indigos, typically Guerrero locality, this is a Yucatan Black Tail Cribo which is simply a phenotype offering higher red pigmentation on the body, most of the time, than specimens found further south, which their binomal is Drymarchon melanurus melanurus, which is what this is.

technically Drymarchon melanurus rubidus is the trinomial for the Mexican West Coast indigo snake which ranges from Sonora to Oaxaca, mostly along the Pacific coast, but also further inland, though not extending to the Atlantic coast as many hobbyists believe.
 
Guys thanks for the help and yes it should have been checked. Simple copy and paste I hadn’t corrected. It’s fixed now. 🤙🤙

Hiya Chris… totally agree…. do you have any yucatans? If so was it smuggled in or did it come In legally with all the cites import docs as this Male has? A proven (legal to ship future littles to the UK) big male to a breeder with an adult female is more than a fair price. This is not some sickly import missing half its face and scarred up. Just a bit of info that might help understand that it’s a fair price. Maybe not for you and that’s cool. Thanks again for pointing out my ssp error so I could correct it. 🤙
