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

How are you feeding yours? Are they amphibian only or have you managed to convert them to rodents?

At the moment I have only one female, but I will be able to get some this year for a breeding group.

They swallow easilly rodent, if I put the rodent into the mouth. No problems until now.
You have to enlarge the feeding interval in my opinion

Thanks for that, I am looking at getting some H simus later this year, I was looking at platyrhinus but was put off by a number of people claiming they would never take rodents.

In my experience with keeping H. platyrhinos, it's seems about 50/50 on whether they'll take to rodents or not.
I've never dealt with one that would take them right off the bat, but I have been able to switch about half of the ones I've worked with to rodents, by starting with amphibs (American toads), then heavily scented mice (or a toad followed by a scented mouse), followed by lightly scented rodents, and then finally unscented.
The other half just wouldn't go for rodents period.

For anybody thinking of getting into hognose snakes, I would recommend starting with westerns unless you are able to have access to a steady supply of toads, just in case.
