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

Cannibalism in Tropidolaemus subannulatus Empty
PostSubject: Cannibalism in Tropidolaemus subannulatus   Cannibalism in Tropidolaemus subannulatus Icon_minitimeTue 1 Apr - 22:42

Cannibalism is common among a few species of snakes but the cannibalistic behavior exhibtied by this hatchling Tropidolaemus subannulatus is uncommonly observed in Asian pitvipers. The incident occurred when Hemidactylus frenatus subadults were being fed to a six hatchlings kept together in a terrarium. The mistake was due to the laziness of my caretaker who did not separate them at feeding time. It happened when all of the hatchlings have already taken their share of food that one of them suddenly struck at another hatchling nearby. The incident was so fast that the caretaker failed to notice it until it was too late when I personally went to check. Has anyone out there ever has had such experience? Please share. Thanks!

Wow, i thought it just me who had this experiense, but my case was not like that. It happened with my T.subannulatus female juvenile from Buton eat male T.subannulatus from makasaar sulawesi. I don't see the eating proses but what i know that in the morning i can't find the male, until i see the body of this female getting bigger since i don't feed her the day before. So i decide to kill the snake and cut the stomach to find out and there he was Sad

Did I get this right?

You killed one snake to find out if the other one was inside?

Man I find that extreme! No

yes, Sir. I have to killed the snake because she will died anyway cos i just found her drowning at the bottom of cage (i use water for substrate) with stomach facing up..she still breathing but very slow and no power to move the body. It is very extreme, but at that time i dont know what to do since i never had a snake drowning like that.
