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 all, my name is Romario Gonsalves and I live in the most beautiful country in the world ,South Africa.
My love for snakes started at an early age and I spent every hour I could in the wild areas around my house looking for snakes and reptiles. I caught my first venomous snake at around 10 or 11 years old. It was a puff adder(Bitis arietans). As I got older I had a ever growing collection of snakes and at 15 I had my very own snake room. I was a member of the lowveld herpetological society and did a number of snake relocations after school or on weekends. I was fortunate enough to grow up around and catch some of the worlds greatest venomous snakes including: Black mambas(Dendroaspis polylepis), Puff adders(Bitis arietans), Berg adders(Bitis atropos), Snouted cobras(Naja annulifera) , Mozambican spitting cobras(Naja mossambica), Boomslang(Dispholidus typus) and Vine snakes(Thelotornis capensis capensis). Ive also worked with and kept most of South Africas other venomous snakes like Gaboon vipers (Bitis gabonica), Rinkhals(Hemachatus haemachatus) etc etc and alot of exotic snakes.
I also love pythons and boas as well as falconry.
Im looking forward to learning alot here.

Hello and welcome, Romario

So you've kept all those wonderful South African snakes that we all love so much. Great! Hope to engage you in many discussions on how to maintain and breed these stunning creatures. My wife and I are currently keeping Naja nivea, Hemachatus, Dendroaspis, Dispholidus, Bitis, Echis and a couple of other Africans.

Good to have you here!

Klaus
