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, my name is Kim and I live in the Philadelphia, PA suburbs. I have been keeping reptiles all my life, and over the last year and a half finished the training and research I felt was needed for me to move into hots. I can say that I am fascinated with my venomous snakes and hope to enjoy them for many years. Right now I keep 1.1 green eyelash vipers, 1.0 albino monocled cobra, 0.0.1 Western diamondback rattlesnake, 0.2 Wagler's temple vipers, and 0.1 Atheris ceratophora.

I am looking forward to learning a lot here and getting to know other keepers of these fabulous snakes.

Welcome Kimberly to the forum. You have come to the right place. There are a lot of knowledgeable members here to advance your experience keeping venomous reptiles.

Of the serpents in your collection, I would have to say be most cautious of your Crotalus/Western Diamondback. Both of my friends who were bitten, had their envenomation accidents with this species.

I like to think of quick striking vipers as a "camera waiting to take your picture". They can seem very "placid" in disposition, but as you probably know the strike is unbelievably fast.

With a mamba or taipan, you expect that it will "tag" you and are therefore very cautious. But with the Diamondback, sitting motionless and ready to strike it can catch a handler off-guard.

And of course your Kaouthia, while slower can get excited and would cause a very serious envenomation.
I love them though, for their "persistent" attitude and sheer beauty.

Enjoy those animals in your care. Cheers Ron Wink
