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

Notechis scutatus - First of the Season Empty

I took my nephew out on his first herping trip last Saturday.  We went to Herdsman Lake, which is very near the centre of Perth, Western Australia.  We probably arrived too late to see many snakes, but found this one basking in a grass clearing.

Getting a bit annoyed in this pic.

Herdsman Lake is very close to Perth City.  Perth has a population of around 2million people, and most of the land has been cleared for "development".  However, this area has been reserved for wildlife - mainly birdlife, which abounds, but also frogs (favourite tiger food), and there are a few lizard species and a common freshwater turtle found there too (Oblong Tortoise - chelodina oblonga).  Herdsman Lake reserve covers about 300 hectares.  There is a lot of open water, but also large areas of reeds and boggy ground impenetrable to casual walkers.

The next image will give you an idea of how close it is to Perth (central business district skyline in the background).
