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

    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.

They have some snakes that I am looking at and I was just wondering if anyone has purchased from them before? They are located in VA. Any info. would be appreciated.

Thanks,
 
Well I went and sent payment for the ('04) 0.2 Normal Balls they had listed on KS. They did respond to let me know that they received the payment and would be shipping on Monday. So far they seem nice and easy to deal with. I will post after the snakes arrive on Tues. so that others can find at least a little info. about them. Hopefully every thing will go as smoothly as it has so far.
 
They were supposed to ship them Monday for a Tuesday delivery but their vehicle broke down. They did e-mail and let me know there was a problem though. They also offered to ship Thursday or to send a refund. I asked them to ship them this coming Monday instead so that is what they are going to do. I'll let you know what happens next.
 
Tim and Robin

My new girls arrived today :) . I would recommend Tim and Robin. The snakes were well packed and appear to have handled the trip ok. Tim & Robin were very easy to get in contact with and let me know right away when there was a problem. They also provided a tracking number right away rather than me having to ask for one. They even wrote back and thanked me for letting them know that the snakes arrived safely.
 
Great to see a good transaction!

Especially one where the shipping date was missed.... you dont always see many of those :)

Enjoy your new babies!
 
Yeah, I was a little nervous when they weren't shipped out as planned. They did offer an immediate refund though so I figured I'd give them a chance. I'll try to post pictures of my new "babies".

is that scars on that one animal? or white patches?

Very pretty girls regardless!!!

NICE and FAT!!! :)
 
She has scars. Apparently she got injured trying to escape from the prior owners cage, before Tim & Robin had her. She is a sweetie though. She hung out on my shoulders while I made new totes up for both of them. I wasn't expecting them to be as big as they are so had to give them larger totes.
