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

I've been on the forum for a while now and thought its time I make a small introduction and post some pics of my snakes at the same time. My name is Wade Kilian, I'm from Pretoria, South Africa and this is my 11th year of keeping snakes. My favourite genus' of snakes are Protobothrops followed by Bitis and Naja. I keep a few other snakes, including the following Crotalus sp.:

1.1 Crotalus durissus durissus
My Crotalus sp. Photo71_zpsec19e368

1.0 Crotalus atrox

0.1 Crotalus (durissus?) vegrandis

Thanks guys!

Michiel, I think I'll take your advice, haha Wink the lack of exotic anti-venom here in SA together with the potent nature of Crotalus venom (especially these), ensures that a bite from one of these would not be fun at all. So complacency around them is not an option.

That's true, you have to be careful. If you need antibodies F(ba)2 against the bite don't hesitate to ask, I have a stock of antidotes of many species.

I'll show you the collect of some crotalus.

Yes it´s a Crotalus basiliscus and this color is actually kind of weird in the nature but once in a while you may find this kind of different colors in the nature.
Actually the Crotalus basiliscus has a huge variety of different colorations, mostly depending on the region it is from., if you want later i can show you the same snake now bigger, 1.80m I´ve been having it for a while now.
I´d also found some individuals of about 2.20m of longitude.
Well anyways here are some photos of the collect of this snake.

Hey Michie, I'm sorry I didn't answer your question, I went to the south of Mexico and just came back,. Just once I bred it and she had about23 pups, but not a single came out like its father color,. I'm thinking about cross one daughter and try to get that color with her pups that only presents in male species I've never had seen a female with that color.
Here is a picture of its birth,.

Nice.. looks normal at birth though ?
Maybe the gene is just recessive ?

Thanks Wade your those are amazing.
Your Crotalus s. simus (durissus. durissus) are form Costa Rica or from another zone?

This photo that I'm sending is a Crotalus sp made from one piece it's located on the National Museum of Antropology  in Mexico City.
It's  around 900 years old and its made of stone

After wanting these for a while, I finally got myself a pair of Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnakes - Crotalus adamanteus. Their about 1.3-1.4m long.

Another new arrival. Male Western Diamondback Rattlesnake - Crotalus atrox. Feeds like an absolute champ.

I also picked up a decent sized male Timber Rattlesnake - Crotalus horridus recently so will try and post a few pics of him shortly.

P.S I apologise for the size of the pics.
Regards
Wade
