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've been in Australia for over 2 months now, and have managed to find and photograph plenty of species. Heres a few pictures from my recent herping trips in SE Queensland.

Unfortunately, I left all my camera equipment on the side of the road when we found the tiger snake, and it had been taken by the time I realised and returned to get it. This meant I had to take photos of the tiger snake on a small compact camera, bopefully I will find another one once i have replaced my SLR!

Bummer about losing your camera equipment, man. I know how it feels. All of my stuff got stolen early last year, and I had to go all of last year and part of this year with just a cell phone camera. I have managed to finally replace my camera body and a couple lenses so far, at least. It's tough finding new stuff and not being able to shoot it properly.

Great shots though, especially the brown!

Amazing pictures Tom!

Bummer about losing you camera gear indeed...
I hope for you they brought it to the nearest police-station so you get it back.

That P. porphyriacus simply looks stunning.. in my opinion the most beautiful snake around.

Consider yourself privileged to see it in its natural habitat!

Have a great trip, and good luck with finding your equipment back.

Tom, that's really all great pictures, but mostly I like the picture with the blue-tongued skink.
