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 Sam,

Hi Peter,

That was my thought too, but i had a look at other convictus pics and they didn't have keeled scales......scratch

Hi Sam,
yes you are right! I have checked also my pictures (in Books and my from a finding of this year) all has smoth scales so far I can see that on the pictures. Very strange, maby only an aberant specimen? I think, convictus and monticola looks in some parts of there distribution very similar, but the monticola has aslo smoth scales...
But, when I´m right, I have read that the scales can be ,,weakly keeled´´ maby this is only a specimen that runs out of the line. But, very very intressting too! Unfortunely I don´t have a lot of the paperwork over Ovophis. But I´m sure there is coming a revision in the near future... I hope very soon.
