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

Spectacular looking animal ! I second the fact that you are very lucky Best of luck with him ! I have't kept an arboreal viper since 4 years ago but when I'll get back into them, I will most surely start with this species...

Thanks Alex, i really enjoyed your pictures of european vipers you posted. Great! Squams are really nice snakes to have in your collection, some are really calm but other has some real personallyties and are totally crazy. I now have 3.2 this one is the nicest but i also have this funny guy who really likes his dinner...i dont think he nows he´s a viper. He must have seen my dog eat and learned from him.

Thank you for the kind comments on my photos (hope you've also seen the two non-European snakes at the bottom of the post as well...) !
Great video of your 'squam' eating so fast ! I've never seen anything like it... Good luck with all the snakes in your group ! As for me, a snake with a personality is always welcomed at my place so I look forward to getting a pair (at least) of 'squams' in the future...

Very nice, I love the color of this male, Michael. The best thing about him is that I see some black flecks in there and he may have some black genetics to share with his offspring. I hope that you have a nice female to hook him up with. Good luck.

I saw a beautiful pair in that coloration in Hamm in December with no prize. I regrete that I didn't ask for the prize, but it feels that I got ripped of if I asked in english for the prize.

Lennart, i dont think your getting ripped of just because you a price in English, i think most guys you meet downs in Europe are very honest. I found a super squam male in Hamm (march) which i still regret i didnt buy. He was purple and lime green for 250€, worth every cent!

Serious seller put the prize on the box with the animal, no questions. Unserious seller go with unmarked box and decide the prize for every situation.
Then we have them who tries. I bought three Androcnotus (scorpions) at the last visit i Hamm, €5 each, gave the seller €20 and got no change back. I had to remind him and then he looked stupid.
The lime/purple, you didn't perhaps took a pic on that?

I dont share youre opinion about what makes a serious/honest seller, anyways its always up to you as a buyer to make a decision if the price is ok or not. No i didnt take any pics of that squam male.
