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

Hi guys.

I am speechless.
I have just recorded a boomslang shamming death.
The hard evidence is on video which also shows how it is actually a healthy animal!

I will post a link to it as soon as I have uploaded it.
This should be a nice follow up to Michael Bollhorns boomslang post.

Here it is.
I apologise for the quality - I had to grab the first cellphone camera I could get.

I think we have a lot to learn about Boomslang!
Look at my thread, the blue male lays 6 unfertilized eggs some days ago!
Do you African guys see a blue female before??!

Boomslang are one of my favorit snakes to keep!

Pleasure Nick and Louis. Both dear friends.

@ Michael.
Yes, we have seen some blue boomslang here but they are not common.
It is also uncommon to see female boomslang looking like males, but yet again it does rarely happen.

A close friend told me about some colourful males that turned out to be females after he sexed them. It clearly shows that colour is not a fool proof way to determine sex in Dispholidus.
It is great to see that guys like you are taking captive progession of boomslang one step further Michael. It seems you are the boomslang guy in Europe! :T

MCH

Hahahaha - Boomslang Guy...

No, I only keep this snake since 6 month and I have no worldshaking experiences...
But I´m very interested in this species!
