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

My female Naja atra had a bad shed. She totally shed her skin except the top of her head and a stripe on her hood. Because I don't want to leave any eyecaps on her I tubed her and started shedding her with a forceps. When I was halfway I just noticed something at the downside of her head. This was something I only knew of jamesons mambas and I thought some taipans also having that sometimes...

I found this discovery for myself pretty interesting so I wanted to take some pictures of this fang marks for you guys. Have you seen this before on cobras? Or maybe other venomous snakes?

My forest cobras have dark spots in the same exact places. I don't think it's worn through like that, but I haven't checked in a while. -Jamie

Hi Stefan
I have seen this on many cobras including all the big King Cobras I have had as well as Forest Cobras and Snouted Cobras. Very interesting!
Cheers

Who can explain this to a beginner? Bit she through from inside? Or was this a bite from a mate?

It can't be from the male because she always had an enclosure for herself. So it has to be from the inside... Smile

Hi, yes seen this before its fairly common in Kaouthia its just that it only tends to stand out on the albinos, cobras bite much harder than vipers, the power in the jaw is incredible, because we feed mainly defrosted rodents they don't have the resistance of fresh animals (a bit like the difference between fresh strawberries and defrosted ones) so when the cobras bite down on the food the fangs just go straight through and out through the chin.
