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

    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.

thanks, shes a beast just shy of 4 feet. that pic doesnt even show all of her colors as well as it should. shell be with me til her dyin day.
everyone feel free to make an offer on the other female though.
 
Are you sure the big one is a female? Coppers are deceiving. Typically, the monster ones are always males. Very nice one either way, it would be a permanent member of my collection too.
 
your location says warren. venomous snakes are not legal in warren and i wont be selling to anyone who will be illegally keeping them.
 
I will pay you $300 if you will FedEx it to my door...

I live in Scottsdale, Arizona.
Please call me if you can do this for me

let me get something straight with everyone who keeps asking for stupid things in regards to this snake. i WILL NOT do anything illegal, nor will i sell to anyone who cant legally keep hots so dont bother asking.
 
Venomous reptiles cannot be shipped fedex. it would have to be done airport to airport if I am not mistaken. If my fiance says it is ok, I will definately take this beauty off your hands.
 
i actually think ive seen that scott guy sayin the same thing on other adds so watch out for him. maybe im wrong but i think i have seen him doin that elsewhere. those guys are gorgeous by the way and good luck with your sale ill be in the market for one soon but not right now i have to get all my setups together before i try keepin anything more than what i got
