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 there,

Well I shall introduce myself, because it would be rude just to post comments or open topics without you guys ( and girls?) knowing who I am.
So here we go:

I am Niek Hofman. I am 31 years old and I am a Dutch guy.Very Happy .
Since the age of 8 I wanted to keep reptiles and caught( and released) the reptiles near my home and on vacation. But my parents said I was to young so I had to wait and keep asking for it till I was 12.
By then my parents had enough of my irritating them and they went to a shop near by with me to get my first snake.. This was a gartersnake.. From that day on I was hooked for ever. I´ve kept many different species and bred with only a couple of them. Nowdays I am keeping venomous snakes , a couple of colubrides, a monitor, some iguana´s , bearded dragons, and Testudo´s.

For the venomous animals, I am more drawn to the Elapidae then other genera. But have kept all genera.
My collection of hots is not that big anymore because work is consuming most of my time.
I keep: 2.1 Naja nigricollis
0.1 Naja pallida
1.1 Bitis rhinoceros.
Next year I´ll be adding Acanthophis rugosus. And am looking for some more smaller and less time consuming hots.

Then I have some Pantherophis guttattus..or actually they are from my girlfriend but I feed them.
And my latest addition is a adult Philothamnes ssp. , I took it home last show in Houten before a father gave it to his 12 year old son Rolling Eyes . What sex it is will be known after some time cause I don´t want to stress him/her to much.

The monitor is a sub adult bosc monitor. Varanus exanthematicus.


Well that´s what I have these days..

Other things I love are:

music: from ska to metal, death metal, rock ..as long as it isn´t computer made music.
playing drums: I have a digital kit , I play every day , helps me to relax after a long day of work.

I guess that´s it ...Hope to learn some things here that I didn´t know. Or to meet some people who have some special snakes that they breed.. and just to have fun.

Cheers niek

Hi ,

yes I´ve kept them and bred them. But I don´t have them anymore. All the babies were sold and the adults died..the reason for death was not surtain..the vet and I both think that they had some trauma in the organs ...none of the dead snakes had worms , flaglats or what other kind of parasite post mortem.When I bought them they had some but were treated and were clean after a mounth..But still I think that the whole proces of being caught, stocked, shipped etc had done enough damage to slowly kill them.
