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

    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.

To breed or not to breed!? That is the question :)

Hey everyone.. So I want some opinions. I've had a couple people suggesting that I should breed my Male Anery. And I thought about it, and Although it is supposidly a bit hard to breed them, I think Id like to give it a shot for the experience. I have several friends interested in babies and several breeders I know looking for some babies if I breed him.
I had someone suggest that I should breed him to a Hypo het anery female? I beleive he said this would produce Hypos, ghosts, and het anery? or anery's?

I do not know much about the genetics so I am looking for your opinions on what would be the best matching for my boy. I want to learn alot about it and will be mkaing sure I can afford all after birth support for any babies I may get if I get any. So this isn't a "right now" thing.. it may be a year or so, because I doubt someone will be able to sell me a female of breeding size for the price I am looking at. Especially if she is a morph.

So.. a couple questions would be..
1: How much would a female Hypo het anery be? on average. as a baby and as an adult.
2: is that a good choice for a pairing?
3: what would be produced, and how much should everything be sold for? I dont want to screw over the snake market by selling stuff to cheap, but I also dont want to look like im out for the money and ask to high of a price.

4: How rewarding do you find it?! I think it would be awesome to do this and see all the cute babies :) I know everytime I get a new snakes its like Christmas for me, so I know this will be awesome if it all works well.

Like I said, I am going to do this right, I will be making charts for all babies, making sure they are properly sexed either by my vet, or Brian at BHB, because thats where my Male came from. And Il expect to keep all the babies, until they are eventually sold off.


So.. let me know what you think!?

Good Idea? Bad Idea?

Thanks Guys/gals!

I thinks it a good idea. Its the best feeling knowing you help produce does babies. We can use more people breeding afforable snakes for people looking to pets..

Your best bet would be to breed him to a Hypo het anery. You would get Ghost,hypo,anerys and normals. You can find a baby hypo het anery for $250 or cheaper a adult female would be $1000-1500.
You never know what babies are going to go for ,you have to check the market at the time you have the babies. Right not anerys are $125 -200 ,Ghost $400- 500 ,hypo het anery 200-250 depending on guality. This are prices that i am see people may have diffrent opinions.

You can also breed him to Normal het anery your cheapest bet or a anery.
You will produce anerys and normals.

I think it one of the best feeling seeing does babies born. I think its better thatn Christmas.

You can Pm if you have any other questions.

Thanks For the space
