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

Hi Larsa
Have you bred this species before? My female is very gravid now and I see they can lay eggs or the babies are born live. I was wondering which happens more often in captivity. She is going to shed her skin now so guess I will find out soon enough!
Cheers
Gavin

Hello Gavin,

- They lay eggs, but just 1-2 days before newborns hatch, just provide her some good place to do it, and no any big water bowls in terrarium.
Where your okinavensis line come from?
It can be nice if you can uppload some photos here!

Hi Larsa
Thank you for the information. I do not know the exact locality of mine as they were imported as wc direct from Japan. I will post some pics soon. I will let the female shed her skin first.
Regards
Gavin

- This is very common with O.tonkinensis(according my own observations and of Tula Exotarium on hundreds of individuals), but it seems to be not constriction but
fixation - they dont kill the prey by constriction, but using venom. This strategy maybe is more effective than if snake bite the prey and then try to find it, for such inert and clumsy vipers as Ovophis. Adult animals use to feed on birds in the wild, this can explain such behaviour too.

O.okinavensis having big head and venom fangs and strong jaw muscles always hold the prey
and do some kind of chewing movements injecting the prey deep with venom fangs maybe
10-20 times.

Ive heard that O.Tonkinensis feed on particularily fast semi areboreal rodents, this too might be an explaination as to why they fixate their prey as the fast mice might make it to far away after being bitten for the sluggish viper to retrieve its prey.
