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:

I am a snake nut since age 5 and grew up in south Florida. From the best of my recollection, I spent every minute I could herping. When school mates hit the playground during recess, I was off into the empty lot chasing down skinks and snakes every day, and every weekend was either herping or fishing. My formal education is in Health Care Management and post grad is a Master's in Business, but I am retired from a wonderful career for the government serving as a health care administrator. During which time I was lucky to be posted in Indonesia and spent most every weekend and holiday on some different island looking for reptiles and traveled to many nearby countries to view to enjoy the culture and of course herp. My last assignment was in Iceland, and spotted tons of birds, seals, whales, and other stuff, but not a single reptile of course. Back now, I've somehow accumulated a large collection with over 100 species (I lost count), and the hobby grew to a import/export business, and its quite satisfying to provide friends/customers with something unique. My main interest is rear fanged snakes from tropical America but have yet to resist keeping any snake for that matter.

Hi Dan,

these are beauties, congrats!
You are lucky staying in Florida - a great place for herpers, especially snake guys.
One of my favorite places for watching snakes (and big gators, of course) is the Myakka River State park south of Sarasota and the whole Myakka River area. Many Sistrurus as well....


Best
Ralf
