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

Thank you guys!
@ Nigel: If you ever come over to Europe I will make shure you are going to have enough hands on experience with cobras
@ Christian: I know there are some people who are keeping adult specimens but can not really remember adds with babies for sale. The other subspecies of forest cobra you see a lot more

How big is your subfulva? Are they calm or on the wild side like N.m.melanoleuca?

He is now around 110 cm in lenght. At the moment he isn't more difficult to handle than the other cobras I have, don't know if he stays a bit calm like this or if he switches to crazy when being adult

Oh btw... Why would someone give me negative feedback at me posting pictures of my snakes?
If I have an opinion you don't share with me, ok... But just pictures? Are they that bad or doesn't this person like cobras?

Only at the Snakeday in October there is a venomroom in Houten. All the other shows don't have a venomroom

Not in a venomroom... And they are also not allowed at the tables in the normal room.
Maybe if you know someone who sells them you can make an agreement to pick them up in Houten. But if you just want to look around that is not possible.
