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 Brian and i'm 36 years old.

First of all I appologize for my approximate english Wink

My wife and I are in the process of obtaining a license in Switzerland to maintain venomous snakes. I've stumbled accross this form while searching infos about venomous snakes in general.
I've had read a lot of informations here and there on the internet but I would like to get some more informations based by experiencend keepers, not only on readings. This is how I ended up here.

Depending on how to training goes, I would like get an Aspidelaps Lubricus as first hot. I know ... an elapid as first "hot" may not be the best option, but I'll see how it goes with elapids whenever I start the training. If it seems out of reach for me and my wife, we'll go with one of the local vipers (V. aspis or V. berus) here in Switzerland.

Cheers !


Brian

Hello Brian,

welcome here on board! I think, the way you have choose is the right one! First collecting of information makes sense to me. There is no reason to be to fast in getting a hot.

I will not judge if a Elapid is the right or wrong decision, but when it is not a Taipan or a King Cobra or something like that as the first, it sounds ok for me. Some vipers (pitvipers) can make much more trubble than a calm Elapid - sometimes! A start is a start, whatever snakespecie it will be.
Aspidelaps can be a good choise. Take care!

Wich you, that you find the informations you are looking for! A lot of keepers from Switzerland are here, so I´m sure you will found some people around your place.

cheers

Peter
