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

My Name is Markus and i'm from Austria. I found this great informative Board because i read something about it from Peter Zürcher.

I love snakes (like everybody here Smile ) and of course Field-herping, taking pictures and so on.

My interest on venomous snakes started at the age of..... I think 13-14.
From this age on i've kept lizards, predatory tropical fish, snakes, spiders and birdspiders.

With 16 i found a keeper who agreed to teach me with little steps how to handle those snakes (only Vipers, no Elapids).
He was very cautious with me so it took long since i was allowed to really work with the animals ( i was already 17).

The first really responsible work was to raise fresh hatched B. schlegelii and Cerastes cerastes (... some of the schlegelis pissed me off sometimes....it was the first breeding of the young female, so extreme tiny baby snakes)

And now i'm 18 and I actually have 3 Cerastes cerastes ( best snakes in the world, i'll never give them away) and 3 huffy puffy Montivipera raddei kurdistanica.
That's enough for now, but in the future i have something in my mind like dwarf bitis, Aspidelaps, Acanthophis, Echis, and european Vipers


This year i'll fly to Costa Rica on a Herp and Spider trip with 3 friends for 3 weeks, can't wait for it and I hope to see many great things and can post some pictures of that trip.

looking forward for some nice conversations study

best regards
Markus

Hello Markus,

nice to see you here. Smile At least cos there's hardly time for me to visit our old "playground" in terraon...

I hope there will be more cool pics like those you posted here. But it'd be welcome if less pics of feeding-session... I don't like it as much as "normal" ones...

Thank you Arcy,

Hi Stefan! Nice to see you too Smile

I got some pics left, but actually i'm waiting on a new objective for my Nikon and I already have some ideas Wink

I don't like feeding pics that much too....but these hungry buggers only show theyr pretty faces when they get something to eat......i would need a 3rd hand to shoot while watering them Smile
