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

    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.

I just purchased my sixth boa from Amer, so I figured it's about time I post him up in the BOI. Amer is great to do business with. Every transaction was smooth. All the boas I recieved were in perfect health, and arrived in a flawless condition. Snakes were packaged appropriately for the current weather. Amer also called me several times to see how the boas were doing.

AMer purchased Florida Redtails from the original owner Brian Abramson, and has gone to great lengths to aquired the original breeding stock to keep this unusual bloodline going strong..

Below are the transactions made..

August 2009 : 2 male 08 Bessette Line North Brazilians, 1 female FLRT line 08 North Brazilian

September 2009: 1 male SalXBats original Breeder 06

November 2009: 1 female Bessette Line North Brazilian 08

March 2010: 1 female Bessette line North Brazilian 06

Amer is a great guy to deal with, and is passionate about this bloodline... I highly recommend Florida Redtails for anyone interested in getting the highest quality BCC boas on the market


Here are some pics to show the caliber of boas being sold by Florida Redtails

We don't edit BOI posts (not that we make a practice of editing member posts anywhere else, but I won't even edit to correct my own typos on the BOI).
Since the business name was posted incorrectly, I have closed this thread - you can just repost with the correct title. If I see that the other member that posted adds his comment to the new thread, I'll remove this entirely.
