Dear Venomland Members and Friends, Venomland is a little more than 6 years old now and by far the biggest Hot Snake community on the Planet! We want to thank all of you who made Venomland the leading Board. We are also very thankful to our Moderators and Admins for years of hard work. Now, it is time to move on. I have been thinking how to proceed and what to do with our beloved board as we reach a size, that we need to make drastic changes to secure the future of our community. As of now, Venomland is hosted by a free (well mostly free) hosting service. That was good for the first years but now we need to find a new way to run our forum. I have spend hundreds of Dollars over the years to keep Venomland up and running, and i have done so with pleasure. Now, we need your help! We need to come up with several thousand dollars for our Venomland 2.0 project, which i frankly cant pay for any longer by myself. So Venomland is asking his Friends and Members for the first time for their financial Support. Please help to keep Venomland alive, and let us move on to a new, better Portal in the Future! Every Dollar is helping us a great deal. I know, its hard times for everyone, but please spare a few Dollar for our community. If you have only 10 Dollars to spare, we are grateful, if it is more, it would be awesome. We are planning to develop a very new Venomland, with real community functions, a forum like you are already loving it and a real (online) Hot Snake Magazin. Also, there will be download areas for scientific papers, Wallpapers and more. Again folks, we can only do that if you all help. Please send me a Private Message if you want to keep Venomland alive, i will provide you with the details on how to donate Money. For now, we can accept money from creditcards via skrill (please google it, its a free service - account-details will be forwarded to you) and paypal. All the best, and for a (hopefully) nice future of our Board. Mario

In someway the head photo of the Atropoides reminds me of puniceus... a little bit.

Hey Pascal,

I remembered this post: nice to see my mini-bushmasters in the internet. I see they were living together. What it is the actual size of that terrarium? Now they are in a 90x80x50, do you think is OK? Very nice species. Now I need to get a couple of A. nummifer.

Hi Israel !

First of all I must appologise for answering your post that late... Embarassed
But your enclosure sounds great ! Bigger then my which is only 70x50x50 cm.

How are your animals doing ? I hope fine but I assume they will be without any problems...
Here are some pictures of the litter your Atro's are from:

Atropoides mexicanus IMG_0046

They immediately shed after birth.

20cm. (8") long and 11 grams 'heavy'... Shocked Very Happy

Hi Pascal,

Nice pictures, thanks!

The couple is doing fine, but they move almost nothing Smile. Awesome lazy snakes. In fact I am going to put them in smaller individual terrariums of 60x60 (floor area), roughly the same as yours, and keep the bigger terrarium for a more mobile species. I also put them to drink at least once a week, because they only coil and wait, coil and wait...but man, when they strike to bite the (defrosted) prey is truly impressive (I uploaded pictures in the photography area some time ago). I am very happy with this species!

I warned you Israel... Wink Laughing I'm happy that they are fine.
Moving them to a smaller enclosure will be no problem; you can almost keep them in a shoebox.

@Walter: thanx for the compliments...Smile Here are some more pics. for you:

I've noticed that they have a certain daily program; especially the female crawls to the front part of her terrarium in the morning, retreating to hide to the back later on the day. Sometimes she even remembers to drink on the way... Otherwise they are extremely sluggish.
Even bushmasters make occasional trips investigating their gages but Atropoides...nah.

Yes, maybe the Atropoides is taking some coffee in the morning... She has a over-activity syndrome Very Happy Very Happy (just joking)

It can be in the water; she realized at some point, that there is water in the big bowl.
It is possible that it is just a drinking routine...
Sometimes she explodes there lightning speed, dives to the bowl like a seal, and jumps on the air through a cloud of sparkling crystal water droplets. My God, it's beautiful.
NOW THAT'S SARCASM!

I've been told that it was Mr. Joe Beraducci who first said that everyone(meaning all snake keepers)should have at least one Atropoides in their collection. (I wouldn't give up my specimen for all the money in the world.) Great Thread and photos, Mr. Kamp. Thanks for posting this. Good luck with the neonates. Sincerely, Jon Davidson .
