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

| Well, hi everybody, my name is Manuel but all my buds call me Manny because of the stupid kid´s show... still, I really like it being called that way. I am 16 years and really into venenomous snakes, my goal in life is to become a Biologist, study their behavior and maybe get to breed some species in captivity. I lOvE rattlesnakes and actually, the only venomous snake I own is a juvenile Mohave desert sidewinder rattlesnake, which I named Kitty  because I also like cats but cannot own them  I join to this forum to hear experiences from other keepers around the world and also, if you allow me to do so, get a kind of an enterview with some of you guys to hear and gather information about venomous snake keeping and breeding and translate it to my native languaje (Spanish) to help my herp comunity here in northern México as there is almost NO information available for some species. Well, thanks and BTW, are there more mexican people in this forum? just curious about it... | |

| welcome here! I hope you become a great Biologist. But I do advice to wait a little longer with keeping venomous snakes. Nothing personal, I is just a general rule with this kind of animals. First of all for the safety of the people around you. and of course your own. We say this to everyone that is not yet 18 years old. so, not just only to you  I wish you a realy nice time here on venomland Manuel, am sure you will find good information you could use to keep venomous snakes when the time is there. | |

| Thanks for the welcome guys and yeah, I know I am a little young to start with the venomous ones but here in México there are no actual laws that forbid minors to keep venomous or dangerous animals, as long as they are not protected by the law.
I have been keeping reptiles since I was 8 and snakes since 11, starting with garters, then corn snakes, rat snakes, angry water snakes, pythons, boas, and only until recently, I found myself in love with a tiny western diamondback rattlesnake in my local reptile store and after some time of thought, I decided to buy it, unfortunately, it was already been sold but for fortune for me, I found this little guy/gal was available and end up buying it.
I had some problems getting it to feed but now its feeds great on live and sometimes F/T pinky and peach fuzzy mice.
I´ll post some pictures of him/her later as I don´t have a good camera right now.
Although he/she is the first venomous snake I have ever kept, I have handled way more dangerous snakes such as western diamondbacks, neotropicals and green mohaves, I can almost say I can deal with any rattlesnake and similar behaving pit vipers, still, I have no experience handling arboreal viperids, lanceheads nor elapids, only saw and practice with act like snakes. | |
