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

Hello Forum

Is somebody here who`s keeping P. sumatranus?

My adult Malayan WC female, ~ 140 cm, ~ 650 g feeds herself only 3 or 4 times in the year.
She eats adult preekilld "Gerbil" or "Mastomys natalensis" (don`t know the english name...)
It`s a very smooth snake, little bit like Tropidolaemus sp.

Is it a nomal attitude for P. sumatranus?

What`s your experiences?

Regards

Michael

Hello Michael,

if you look at the fact that they should lay and breed their eggs in case of pregnancy, I think it´s a bit too less.
But what shall I say - maybe she don´t like this diet very much, maybe it´s ok for her, because she don´t spend much energy.

I think my Sumatranus read this thread! Razz

After one year the lady eats her first 3 preekilld "african soft-furred rats" by tong!
I don`t know why I test it at daylight (18:00 PM)

Normally I don`t like feeding-pictures, but after one year with a lot of work an many endurance, this are the best pictures I could get from this snake... bounce

At mouse 3 I make the pictures - It was the first time I saw the Snake eating. In the past she eats only at night one preekilld Mouse all 2 month from the tree limbs...

A little update...

Remember the feeding on the pictures was at 13.05.08...
At 18.06.08 I test it again, like the last time she eats 3 adult preekilld african soft-furred rats by tong. I think one "rat" have weight ~ 70g.

Regards, Michael

Some just dont need the excess. I have a male lateralis that ate every week for 6 months then stopped for 13 months, and then started every week again. They are simply incredible creatures beyond our total grasp or understanding.
