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

years back, i received one Vipera ammodytes from a friend of mine.

i was not sure about if she will be suitable for our high temperatures, also i dont wanted to hibernate the snake, coz of many time brown outs here in the philippines.
well, 4 years later now, the snake is doing still very well. i really love here . as she is a nice contrast to all our tropical animals.

as my friend was buying here from somebody without any idea about locality, can some of the Vipera experts here give me a clue where she can came from? is that even possible to guess the locality by the coloration of the snake?

Hi Mario
Difficult to tell you anthing about the origin of this snake, but, due to the very black dorsal band and the well defined side blotches, it must be a male.
I think it's ammodytes ammodytes, from the northern part of its range, perhaps Austria or Slovenia.
If it's from Austria (or northern Slovenia) indeed, some people still would say it's ammodytes gregorwallneri, described by SOCHUREK as the "alpine horned adder", but the acceptance of this subspecies has faded away recently, right now some research work is done on this "subspecies" (and on "ruffoi" too).
Cheers
Peter

Nice pics Mario, and you too Ronny from your topic. I just picked up these two V. ammodytes babies a could days ago. Sorry the pics aren't better. Not sure about the locality of these. I'll ask the guy I got them from what he knows.

Thanks Henning

I'll have to call my buddy and see what he can tell me about the male. He also has some aspis and raddei (possibly kurdistanica).

Mario, this male could be from Slunj in Croatia. I have one that looks just like this one, black head and beautiful contrast between base colour and black patern.
