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 Stuard, i have deactivated his account, as i found out that Armand Belier is not his right name... well, everyone knows our "true-name rule" here, if someone can't follow this simple rule, we certainly kick them off the board... i do not know, why someone need to hide his real name in the first place..?? cheers Mario | |

| Seems to me we have people with double accounts here too
per example:
Giwrgos Nanos - George Nanos - both from Greece, same birthday .....
What's the reason? forgotten password maybe? | |

| A good question indeed. One does have possibilities to proof that, even it's the usual way to trust adult people sharing the same hobby or profession. Almost everyone of us is leaving his tracks here and there in the www - with his nicks, his real name or his e-mail-adress - or with combinations of'em. In many cases, i know the real names of people who registered with nicks first before the finally register correct.  But as Mario already said, it's a simple, but well-working rule - and everybody should be honestly here - and most users do anyway, that's great. I just don't wanna talk to people hiding their names for some reason - maybe they have to hide other things too? Cheers Peter | |

He is Chris McHale!
Speak to DN etc Chrisopher Mchale - Very familiar name, he has a YouTube channel (christophermchale). Says he has a collection of over 20 specimens of all 4 of the Dendroaspis species, looks like he's got quite a large collection aswell. - Also keeps WC Vipera berus  (Bred them last year). From what he says, he is a supplier at London Zoo. - I have reasons to believe (from his own mouth actually) that he doesn't hold a DWA Lisence. Now, if he was an unlisenced keeper, it suggests to me that London Zoo wouldn't associate dealings of animals with him. He said to me, he was selling off his entire collection, all animals were spoken for and waiting collection, and he was emigrating to somewhere outside of Europe. (I think South Africa). Originally from the USA. Either way....It seems that not many people have dealings with him....I wounder why that may be? |

| As far as I know him he is a great guy. Haven't had a deal with him as I couldn't bring up the money at that moment but he even offered to bring them to France. Then we did not have to come all the way to the UK. His snakes look awesome and really healthy! | |

| I don’t think that young Jimmy realises that Dangerous Wild Animals Licenses (DWAL) are designed to allow private citizens to keep dangerous animals such as venomous snakes etc. I don’t hold a DWAL and have never kept anything under a DWAL. My licence comes direct from the British Government and has nothing to do with Local Councils. Prior to that I was working under the Zoo licensing Act.
I don’t know sure, but I suspect Chris is/was operating under a dealers / shop licence.
Oh and my name is real enough LOL | |
