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

If you guys are okay with it i´ll post some of my Atheris squamigera pics here too.

The Atherini genus is my all time favorite snake genus - tragically there are serious deficits i guess starting with the the husbandry and transportation in the country of origin ending with some missinformations at the end-consumer.
Just look at the high mortality rate of Atheris hispida. Makes me sad...

I really hope - in matter of the continued existence of Atheris hispida - that there will be projects and people in Africa who can achieve what you Mario did with all your breeding projects!

Well here´s now one of my squams: Hope you guys enjoy the pic. More will follow the next days :-)

Hi Kai

I have had a female strip the last 2 inches of skin off a male's tail and kill him. She later tried to kill another male, but he escaped. I had another female bite a male full on the head and he died.

Very nice, René. I am thrilled that there are so many excellent photographers on these forums. I hope to discuss techniques at some point. I am also addicted to Atheris, so you're not alone. Afterall, they are the best, right? Wink I look forward to more of your pics.

Oh, come on, Mario! Women with a little spice in their attitudes is nice! Some of the Atheris women are sweethearts and wouldn't hurt any male, but others are majorly bitchy. Unfortunately, it's sometimes the hot ones that are bitchy and I have to take my chances introducing a male to them. What's a JD? Over here that would be a Jack Daniel's (whiskey). It IS Friday! bounce

This is an interesting thread. I love the photos and it's very interesting to read people's experiences with different Atheris species. Hope to see and read, and above all, understand more, as I would really like to succeed with various Atheris sp. myself.

Hey René, nice photos and specimens. I really like the blue/green one with 'rusty' scales. You wouldn't happen to have a full body shot of that one, would you? Wink

Here's one of my males that I really like. The yellow edges on the head scales are something that I very much like on this guy.

And a female from '07. Sorry, the head is out of focus and the color blurred, but the pattern is interesting.

Another great photo, René! I've got some serious work ahead of me to learn to take photos like that. One day, I hope.

Yes, I dig that little girl's pattern there, Christian. I wonder if her black will become more heavily banded with time.

It's interesting to see if she changes much with age. She's been pretty much that way ever since birth - perhaps a touch more greener now.
