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

Here are some pics of a litter of 10 born August 2, 2015.  They are doing well on frogs.   Sorry the pics are low quality, taken with an iPhone.

We learned quite a bit from raising the first litter from October of last year....a couple babies were not so vigorous babies but keeping them on too wet of a substrate caused skin/breakthing issues.  Also trying to get them to take rodents was not the best course.  It seems they will switch naturally in time, but certainly trying before the first year was a waste.   Here are pics of the two remaining, also still doing well on bigger frogs.

Both of these litters were from the same female.   We have a larger female that looks to be gravid and may drop in a month or so.

Excellent work Matt for some reason people do report on the weakness of captive born Bothriopsis bilineata may very well be the diet, the white tail tip versus the pink remind me of the Bothriopsis bilineata smaragdinus of the Brazilian Atlantic forest through Amazonian Colombia . Fred Antonio of The Central Florida Zoo had great luck with these. Once again congratulations,

Thank you for sharing this, arboreal species could be tricky sometimes but I didn't know that you could encounter such difficulties with B. Bilineata.
This skin issue is unusual, it reminds me of Lachesis species, they dislike too wet cages as well.
I wonder, you wrote that it fed well on frogs but did you try to force feed it and if so did it worked?
Regards, P
