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

Atheris chlorechis male or female? Empty

Hi guys,

I own 3 Atheris chlorechis CB08 (I think march), two of them are surely females but the third animal drives me crazy, it was always the smallest one although it ate the same. And this is one of the point which makes me unsure, it ate an eats the same...maybe the reason is the pre-adult age, don't know.
Further on this animal has a smaller head but for me to little to be sure that its a male.
Maybe some of you, experienced guys, can help me.
I made some somewhat less than perfect pictures:

If you imaginary turn around the left head a bit you can see the difference

Hi,
to determinate the sex, we need a ,,Tail picture´´! Best from above! Or put it in a smal Plastic Box and make the picture from the undersite.... Only Head shots are not enought.

But, when the are 2 years old, you must see a typical Viper shaped Hemipenis section...
In my A. chlorechis I have seen it the was one very smal WC ones ( 30 -35 cm).

The head looks female to me, but that's just a guess. Peter is right and you should easily be able to externally see the hemipenes on an animal of this age. Just hold the tip of the tail up with a hook and let the body dangle and look for the bulge. Tail length is much less reliable at this age.
