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

Subject: Hello from Switzerland Sat 24 Sep - 1:34

Hello everyone Since I’m new to this Forum, I’d like to quickly introduce myself. Born and raised in Switzerland, I’ve spend a few years travelling around the World and working for the Swiss Armed Forces on different Missions on the Balkans (Bosnia and Kosovo). At the moment living and working in Switzerland on a so called “temporarily settled down” basis, before I might take off for another few years abroad. With an age of five, I’ve been fascinated by a Snake book of F. Kundert, called “Fascination” which I found on the bookshelf of my father. This fascination for Snakes never left me since. Spending a few years of voluntary work at the Reptile Department in the Zoo of Basel / Switzerland during my school time, I’ve learned the handling and keeping of snakes from the scratch. With an age of thirteen I’ve got my first two Snakes (Lampropeltis triangulum sinaloae). Short after, my room hosted about 30 Snakes of all different species. Meanwhile I’m keeping Snakes for about nineteen years, in the last few years mainly venomous snakes. Some of my all time favorites: Currently in my collection: Bothrops alternatus Bothrops asper Bothrops colombiensis Bothrops diporus Bothrops moojeni Bothriechis schlegelii Atropoides mexicanum Protobothrops mucrosquamatus Cryptelytrops venustus Naja naja Crotalus viridis ssp Boiga dendrophila melanota Boiga cyanea Morelia spilota spilota Not anymore in my collection: Tropidolaemus wagleri Cryptelytrops insularis Cryptelytrops albolabris Bothrops venezuelensis Porthidium ophriomegas Aspidelaps lubricus infuscatus Pseudoboa unicolor Chrisopelea ornata and a whole bunch of non venomous snakes…… Something to dream of for the future: Lachesis ssp Ophiophagus hannah Cheers Michael

Hey Thomas I had some off springs from my old Bothrops asper couple, as well as from the Atropoides mexicanum trio and the Bothriechis schelgelii. My Bothrops moojeni femal is still too young to breed, but looking forward to breed them as well. Do you have any Bothrops or Protobothrops in your collection? Cheers Michael
