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

having had a number of kings, i noticed that the amount of faecal matter in the cage from rodents was alot more, it made me think about the whole nature of rodent feeding kings and the long term effects, whether there digestion system was compromised over a longer period, i saw from another keeper he had read that male kings fed on rodents can go sterile, and i wondered if anyone had any info or thoughts on long term rodent feeding kings

I have a friend that has raised several kings and bred them a few times. He has switched all of his over to rodents with no ill effects. His main male that he uses for breeding, and that he has raised since he hatched the clutch that it came from, is around 8 or so years old and has been eating rodents since it was a hatchling. I have things like that a lot recently but I've seen kings that seemed to do very well on rodents for many years. He produced a clutch last year to which all hatched so I think it's safe to say that rodents do not make the males sterile. They are no doubt more suited to eating snakes but I don't think there is any long-term ill effects from feeding rodents.
