• In case most of you have not noticed, I made changes to the donation amounts as well as the durations for all of the paid membership levels. Things are winding down here, and this seems to be the most prudent way to deal with the "end of life" period of this site.

    Contributor level members - $10 per 30 days
    Sponsors - Eliminated
    Benefactor level members - $25 per 30 days
    Endowment level members - $50 per 30 days

    On July 1, 2027, all paid memberships will be closed.

    On August 1, 2027, FaunaClassifieds will be terminated.

    Only change I expect that might take place is when I can get around to figuring out when the amount of money I would have to refund for the yearly paid memberships becomes less than the monthly expense of leasing my server, THAT date might be the termination date for the site.

I'm posting this because I just had to put down my beloved male diamond python, as he had an as-of-yet undescribed bone-wasting disease (cause unknown, but nothing husbandry-related, possibly congenital - I am pulling all stops out now to figure it out and hopefully develop a treatment for the future). He was a dream come true because I got him when he was already large enough to be comfortable in a 4 by 2 enclosure, which is the smallest I have.

So, right now, I am desperately in search of a pure diamond python that is at least large enough to be comfortable in a 4 by 2 enclosure. Name your price and unless it is truly absurd I will at least consider it.

I am *very* cautious about having the same thing happen again, though, which is why I'm trying to screen potential animals. It is not something externally visible or detectable until it has progressed significantly, so it serves to be extra careful. Proven breeders get a pass, as it means they probably don't have the condition (mine was sold as he refused to take any females, which I suspect may have been because the movements were difficult in the early undetected stages). For others, I would want to see good video showing full body movement in all directions, showing they have no mobility issues, and I would be more than happy to pay for a short local vet trip for an X-ray (not entirely mandatory, but it would certainly help me feel a bit safer).

If anyone has anything, feel free to message me!
