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

A few minutes ago my Lampropeltis zonata pulchra had a fight. Luckily I was in the room.
The female bite the male and wrapped around him. I sprayed some water on them and could then get them apart.
They did not show this behaviour since I've got them three years ago. The female laid eggs on 23rd of april which I am breeding at the moment.
Last feeding was exactly a week ago.
Is this normal? Did I maybe just not watch it before? Or is it cannibalism?
I separated them now in two vivariums.

I observed that only once in my zonata-career (8 years with several breeding pairs).
Unfortunately it ended up with the female in the males stomac.

Maybe the female is preparing for a second clutch and was looking for additional food....

Actually, these king snakes are not more cannibalistic than others.
by the way: how are your eggs doing, Guenter?
regards
Peter

Fine as far as my poor knowledge allows me to judge.
It all went very fast - maybe it was vice versa. The male is a bit bigger now. I saw them wrapping around like when mating a couple of days ago. I'll feed the female a bit more the next weeks, let's see what will happen.
