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

Went see some adders on Monday and I was lucky to find 10 males surfing on the snow.
I have know this place for around 6 years now and couple of years ago most of the adders disappeared somewhere (me and my friends only found 2-4 snakes and before that there were around 100)
But yeah here's couple of photos.

Hello Sami,
thanks for the beautiful pictures.
They seem to be impatient to come out. If springtime comes late we also can see V. berus on or beside patches of snow in the Austrian alps but in normal years snow has gone before they come out of hibernation.

Cheers,
Rainer

Thanks!
It's really funny to see them slithering on the snow.
I went to check some adders yesterday and now they seem to find better places to warm up.. The snow melts really quickly when the sun is shining.

@Rob - No, they are too light so they just slide on the snow leaving no markings at all.

Nice photos Macije!

Couple of more shots from yesterday.
