How would you get the world out in your area that you have X animal for sale?

ebayclassifieds.com :gj:

Craigslist is a funny thing, post them up as feeders or as pets and say email me for more details. Dont put any sort of price in the ad.

I didn't know about the ebay classifieds! That seems like a good place to post.

That's pretty much exactly what I did. I didn't say anything about price. I did say "I'm sure this will get flagged by someone who thinks it's wrong to feed snakes" maybe that's what did it :rolleyes:

I've had decent luck pulling in traffic from Hoobly.com, but I'm reluctant to recommend them because they have known, proven scammers advertising there and don't give a crap, despite claiming to "take scams seriously" or some other nonsense. :mad: I used to use them to advertise mammals, but I stopped going there entirely because I didn't want to support them any more.

http://www.petclassifieds.us/ is another one you might try -- not the highest traffic, but I think some people use it ...

It really frustrates me that Craisglist has kowtowed to the AR people in their ridiculous "no pet sales" policy, because they are SO ridiculously popular that they practically have a monopoly on local sales of anything. I mean, sure, there are other local classifieds websites (tons of them, in fact), but I don't think any other ones are as popular as Craigslist.

You could try posting your ASFs for sale in CL's "Farm and garden" section -- you ARE allowed to post "livestock" there according to CL's TOS, and the rats are kinda sorta livestock ... :P Things are a lot less likely to get flagged there, too. (Unfortunately, they're also probably less likely to be seen by local snake people ...)

just use CL even IF it gets flagged just repost it, and yea, dont mention anything about feeding snakes, thats why you got flagged so fast.

heres my add that i run, its been flagged once in maybe 3 months:

need rats? i have TONS available. mostly pinkies right now but they grow fast. pinks start at $1 rehomeing fee.

or if you're looking for something cuddly, i have fancy/hooded/dumbo/rex/siamese/ pretty much everything but hairless

after it got flagged, the one time, i posted this one instead:

need rats? i have TONS available. lots of them, just weaned, right now. small rehomeing fee.
i have fancy/hooded/dumbo/rex/siamese/ pretty much everything but hairless

ANY type of rat you need, just ask


hope that helps. and yea i think they should just flat out allow sales, not like their wimpy tos is gunna stop anyone

I got banned from Craigslist!!!

:rofl: That site is a joke, so I guess I don't care, but it was annoying. I posted an add that I had ASFs that I needed to get rid of. I didn't say anything about selling them, or feeding them to snakes :rolleyes: I guess my area is a bunch of rat huggin PETA members.

This thread is a little older, but figured i'd share something.

A flagger made an interesting post 2 weeks ago. Saying she/he flags any reptile ad on there that might mention a size, morph, het something, or even ANY reptile that doesn't come with an enclosure, or anyone mentionning that they want to trade something.

They also said that technically it's illegal to sell pets on CL, but that they flag any animal free to good home to avoid problems, but to include a small rehoming fee is technically selling it, so illegal. WTF:rolleye2:

So pretty much nothing can be put on CL.

:rofl: no kidding!!!!

I was actually able to get my account back because someone was selling cars with my account :confused: So they gave it back to me since they didn't know which ads I actually posted :P

I just posted an ad LOOKING for fancy rats and someone flagged me!!!! WTF!!! I posted it again, and didn't get flagged, but I did get one hatemail.

Craigslist people :rolleye2:
