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

Thought you might like to see some pictures from a recent field trip in Minnesota, USA. This trip was part of an ongoing survey at known den sites. Snakes were observed and tagged and immediately released where found. Tagging was done with a series of marks on the basal segments of the rattle using permanent marker. If the snake was too deep in the rocks etc., it was not disturbed. One specimen had been tagged eight years previously at the same rock outcrop. Survey sites are all on private and / or protected land where they are not disturbed. It was a wonderful trip, seeing these healthy populations of a magnificent species.

Great series of photographs, Mr. Allen. Always good to see real, live, wild snakes in their natural habitats. I know that I've mentioned this on other occasions, but I find it interesting how similar many of these specimens are in appearance to the north eastern populations. Thanks for posting this. Sincerely, Jon Davidson .
