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

I wanted to share some of my images of the Atherini tribe. The pictures were taken in the wild during a trip to Kenya and in captivity.
I hope you enjoy the images which you can find HERE


Thanks to BioKen and the National Museum of Kenya as well as Michael Bollhorn where some of the captive specimens were photographed.

Nice photos! I recognize many of them from the Terralog book Venomous Snakes of Africa.
I sure would be nice to visit places like that and see Atheris sp. live in situ.

Thanks to all.

Actually I canonly recomend to just get up from the couch and go herping. Be it in Europe or in Kenya. If you are interested in seeing Atheris in the wild, Kenya is probably the cheapest way right now. Last time I checked flights were quite affordable and if you don't need fancy hotels the rest of the trip is cheap. I spent less than 2000 EUR on 6 weeks in Kenya including flights.

Brilliant pictures. Love the strike shots.

I saw none in Kenya (in the wild at least) though I did not go looking for them which would be why Smile
