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

Hi ! I have a small problem which I hope I can get help with here at venomland Smile

I have a D. angusticeps and she is eating and doing well, but every time she sheds her skinn she becomes more and more blue. I have never seen this before... Perhaps it could be some kind of disease ?
If anyone might know what this is, please let me know.

Blue mamba- Definately an heat source. I had the same problem with green mambas-they had touched the lamp and the result looked exactly like the photo. Close the lamp with mesh- and it will be resolved.
They shed it off after a few sheds.

The blue scales on Eastern Green Mamba's are normally caused by some form of injury. It could be from touching a heat lamp or from scratching against a sharp branch or something of the sort in the enclosure. Check your enclosure for any branches with sharp edges or perhaps a very tight spot that the snake might be squeezing through while it is in the process of shedding.

Hope that this helps, the blue marks will go away after a few sheds.
