Corn Classifieds

I agree with the points made. I liked selling snakes when it was to people I knew (from here) and I was posting ads here. I don't like or fit in with Facebook classifieds, and so never advertise snakes for sale. I have a whole clutch I need to photograph and list.

And then, since I have babies hanging on from last year, I don't feel like breeding till they are out of the house, so I haven't bred this year yet. I miss the confidence of babies selling that I used to have.

I never joined Facebook and seldom visit the site unless directed there by a Corn breeder who wants me to see something in particular there. When I want to purchase a snake I'm not going to wade through post after post, ads galore, and Facebook trying to get me to log on. All I want to know is what is for sale, hopefully a current picture, the genetic background, and a price. I used to spend my time visiting snake websites, but now most of them are woefully out of date. I searched a few last week and one said it was last updated in 2013. Another was showing hatchlings from 2014 in the available section, and several I've searched had nothing available at all. You can quickly see the advantage of a forum specific to the kind of snake you keep, a sale section with current availability, and snake breeders that you can trust.

If you're not actively using FB, you're not going to see any advantage to it. It's a lot less useful for buying unless you're ridiculously active and have a lot of contacts and know what they're producing. In those cases, knowing the right breeders is more advantageous than anything else. Selling on FB can be pretty easy though, and dropping a nice photo in a busy group is just about as effective as buying an ad.

Extremely guilty of woefully out of date website. I'm sorry.

Technically I am too...it's still in development!
