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

Just curious as to what temperature basking spots other keepers use for their B. peringueyi. Thanks

Jaques - For me its all about temp gradients. I would make it hot on one side with a spot lamp but not too hot that the sand is too hot for the snake to lie on, and then have a cool side. The snake will choose its optimum temp itself.
If your cage is too small to provide the gradient then consider getting a bigger cage Smile

They have a gradient of about 10 degrees during the day, mid 20's on the cool side and about 34'C on the hot side. Was just wondering about the maximum temp and whether I shud raise it slightly as they seem to constantly be only in the hottest area. On the other hand am also considering dropping the maximum temp so as to cool them slightly for winter. So all advice appreciated.

I would put a smaller spot lamp in the cage for winter if I were you. Dropping the warm side to mid 20s during the day.
I imagine (although having never bred peringuey before) around 12 - 13 degrees at night will suffice.

Perhaps others who have bred them can comment or correct.

Ok thanks. The nighttime temps here are down to 15 and will be down to about 10 or 11 in midwinter. So my main worry was just the day temp's
