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

Hey everyone, name's Aaron, I live near Toronto Canada. I've kept non-venomous reptiles and snakes for about ten years, been around them all my life though. I'd like to take the next step and start the process of learning about hots. I am currently looking for a mentor and reading as much as I can from info on individual species to antivenon to handling.

I look forward to participating on the forum and learning as much as I possibly can from the knowledgeable people here.

From what I've learned so far I think that the best bet I have for a starter (after some training) would be a Copperhead.. sorry I'm terrible with the scientific names still. Agkistrodon might be close. Lol, but honestly I probably deserve a good slap for that spelling disaster.

My favs and dream collection would be a selection of the Atheris'...I think they're absolutely incredible animals. I'm fascinated by Mambas too, and would like to eventually work up to them but I realize there will be quite a few years experience to gain before tackling that. I'm sure the rewards are well worth the effort.

As of right now I am herp-less, I moved away a couple years ago and had to adopt out my collection, now that I have returned I'm in the process of purchasing a stunning cbb Amazon Tree Boa.

Welcome here Aaron,
when you succesful keep Amazon Tree Boas, than you can imagine, how hard it can be to keep one of the Members of the Atheris Group. The riske for the keeper is there Venom, but not all of them are aesy to keep alive. Same like in some non-venomous snakes too.
Good to read, that you collect first some infos before you run to get an hot! Best way in my opinion!

Have fun here!

Welcome here Aaron. This is a good place to get lots and lots of information and maybe even a mentor.

Agkistrodon contortrix ssp is indeed a good venomous species to start with. Allthough if Atheris ssp is what you really like, it might be better to start with an arboreal species, like Trimeresurus ssp. Also a good species to start with, but with more of the same habits as Atheris.

Much luck with reading and learning!!

Best lesson is to watch your fingers... Laughing
