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

Hey guys,

Black dorsal, green lateral, yellow ventral and only a little bit turquoise blue at the head!

This one:

I only remember the color changing from the youngsters to adult after the first year. I never read or heard it from adults...

Michael

Hi Michael.
It is known that they do change colour.
Very nice snake you have there!
Also, it might also shed in the next few weeks.
Very nice.

I see Michael.
Boomslang are one of the most rewarding species once given enough space.
Does yours also check you out when working in the snake room/s?
Very inquisitive species.

All the best.

Yes, they do! Everytime you are in the room you have 8 eyes on you!
They are very intersted in all, curios but never angry. Very calm and reserved snakes!
All eating mice by tweezer.

It's unbelievable, this nice blue "male" laid last Sunday 6 unfertilized eggs!
We have to wait if she changed the color back...
Maby she goes blue like Morelia viridis in pregnancy?

I never checked the sex because a Boomslang in this color with a head like this was a 100% male for me...!

Regards
Michael

I dont't know! Green Tree Python do that but I never heared from colubrids!
Normally the RSA Boomslang females are brown!
