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

    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.

Is it possible to get snake pheromones? I've asked pet stores if they have them and get told no. I'd like some black racer forum pheromones because I suck at snake hunting, and those seem to be the most commonly spotted snake in this part of Florida that's harmless. Can anyone help me out please? If I could find a snake on my own, I wouldn't bother asking.
God bless, Jason Irelan

I don't know about pheromones but here are some helpful hints to make a human size rodent costume?

No, it's not nice; because it's no help. Does anyone know about snake pheromones? I know what they say about wild caught snakes being unhealthy, but every captive bred snake had to have descended from a wild caught one somewhere. If I had my druthers, I'd rather have a garter snake instead of shelling out $40 or more to a dealer that sells captive bread garter snakes because there's no excuse for charging that much when all they do is put two snakes together and let them have sex. I know that's not the case for racers because you also have to make sure as many eggs as possible hatch, but garters are live bearing snakes.

You're right of course, you made a serious request and we didn't take it very seriously. I'd judge though, from the lack of other responses, that the answer has to be no to the snake pheromones question. I've certainly never heard of it.

I did find (in another thread, not mine) a suggestion for a trap that might work if they are the most common snake in your area... apparently garter snakes can be caught like this:

"We use 5 gallon bucket traps: bury the bucket to the rim, a scrap piece of plywood to cover top, put 4 small rocks on each corner to give plywood a 1 inch gap from bucket, check daily."

Good luck!
 
I seriously doubt that garter snakes are the most commonly spotted snakes in my neighborhood. We seem to get the black racers most of all. I've seen three living ones and only succeeded in catching one. If I still had that snake, I wouldn't be asking. So what's a good trap to lure a black racer?

I could really stand some snake pheromones and wish there was someone who could supply some for me. If I tried fishing again and didn't know of any areas where I knew where they'd be, I'd be asking about fish pheromones instead to put on the hook.
