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

    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.

Well about a month ago I paired my Hypo red Pastel het albino with my motley het albino and within ten mins he was locked on to her

and now this week saying she’s had no food for two weeks she’s looking really swollen so I’m hoping this is her ovulation

Nice to get some red Pastel motley’s and a sunglow or albino motley out of these two, the sunglow should be a great colour with how red she is

Good luck, Richard! Fingers crossed for some smoking-hot motley albinos and sunglows!

At least she's receptive! Plenty of folks out there aren't (like all the people who won't even come to our house...).

While my wife does enjoy them, I'm just hoping I don't get murdered soon.... (fingers crossed, you'll see the potential reason for it soon ;-) ;-) )

Mine are in my living room, so the "freak out" happens as soon as they enter my house and that's if they even come over... Honestly, it suits us just fine since we tend to be pretty private folks. There are only a couple people who we would like to visit but won't.
 
Yes that’s a real shame when a phobia takes over that much.im sure people think that we snake keepers just have them roaming all round the house 24/7 lol

It is indeed. Funny enough, I actually have to explain that they all have their own cages to about half of the people that find out I keep snakes at all! They really do think that I have them loose in my house until I clarify that...
 
Well sure looks promising
Came back from holiday on Monday night and tonight looked likes she's cooking something under the heater, sorry just done with my phone so doesn't show off her best colours
