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

I see the genus Causus doesn’t often get to much attention and it’s such a fascinating and beautiful group of vipers, so I thought I would post some pictures of one of the more common species in South Africa. This is the Rhombic Night Adder Causus rhombeatus. It is often very common where it is found and favours damp localities which are also occupied by its chief source of food, namely toads. Many South African herpers have underestimated these guys and have some painful stories to share! I hope you enjoy!! Very Happy

Definitely underestimated and underappreciated species. It's a shame we don't see more of them.

Nice animal Michael, I saw it on some books I have, the interesting thing is that this snake is that the head reminds the european grass snake (natrix natrix) with the rostral scale a bit different. At first sight it seems a colubid Smile . But the shape rimanes shorter.
Thanks for sharing this "uncommon" species.
