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

My forest male had a bad day I believe as he flew out his enclosure snapping around to every movement.
I think its because of the new female he owns and dont give any second rest accept when it's feeding time

So it is true Male love goes true the stomic

The mail feeding on a small rat, I do not feed my cobra's big prey items but more on a regular base.

Some pictures of the breeder female. Her noose isnt that great but it looked awfull when it came in but now it turns out quit nice, I really dont know if her head en noose ever be normal again but on the other hand I'm not perfect either and she is a nice and large snake and will hopefully lay a large clutch off eggs as they had several matings.

Hi,

my experience with this species is contrary to the experiences of most other keepers.

Till now I`ve kept 5 specimens of Naja melanoleuca. 3 about one meter and two about 1,60 which I keep actually.

Not one of them was a bad A**. Even the two bigger ones are easy to handle.

BUT. If they go they go rigorous.

I keep the two bigger ones about a month and the first time I have seen them hooding and acting a bit angry was yesterday. Both in shedding time. Thats all.

forest cobras are semi-agressive, and like to have a range of different foods like rats. I never knew that they would escape and be 'crazy' well forest cobras can be unpredictable.
Nice cobras by the way, they look great!

What means "semi-agressive"?
Is that a 5 on the scale from 1 to 10? LOL
How many specimens did you keep/handle to support this statement?

And by the way, even it may look aggressive, it's more a strong defensive behaviour.
Additionally, these snakes like all other species can be individually different.

regards
Peter

by semi-agressive I mean about 8ish out of ten, but like you said it does differ. I heard that forest cobras when in captivity are more agressive than when they are wild, and are more easy to get irritated when mating.
