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

My friend and I (Duggy) are going to Arizona and California to do some herping and photography in late June and into July. We are trying to find the best areas and times to get the most success. We are specifically looking for rattlesnakes of all types. We will be gratefull for any advice given. Thanks in advance.

Head into the sky mountains and get high!

It will be real hot at that time of the year so road cruising will be best.

Please be aware that if you handle a reptile in anyway the US Game and Fish Dept will expect you to have a valid Hunting Licence.

Just because you are a visitor does not mean you'll not be fined if caught!!

My last trip to AZ/NM I went with US friends who had a Licence and I made sure I didnt touch.

Even moving a snake to safety can you you in trouble.

I'm sure some of our fellow American Herpers can confirm this.

PM me for more info

Graeme is absolutely right.
Something additional: Don´t touch species that are federally protected (e.g. Crot. willardi, Heloderma,...), it might bring you into big trouble.

When we were there we were sometimes watched from the distance with binoculars and later asked and (rarely) checked. We never had problems as we didn´t take any animals but I know people who even went to jail because they had touched Gila Monsters.

End of August into September would be better and for road cruising the time around New Moon.

Good luck,
Rainer
