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 Walter,

what a phantastic snake, I´m a big fan of Micrurus sp., but I´m wondering if the snake is able to swallow the pinky? From my limited experience with coral snakes I saw them sometimes taking mice in a size a normal snake never would have any problem to swallow it, but it seems that the coral snakes have a very inflexible jaw and they tried o swallow the mouse for a long time until they gave up and left it alone. I think most species are highly adapted on elongated, slim prey and are unable to swallow bigger animals. In the past I had a 1,4 m Calliophis bivirgata flaviceps (Asian coral snake), which wasn´t able to deal with mice bigger than a half week old pinky. To eat five pinkies, which is a very small prey mass for such a big snake, it needed more than two hours of constant working. After some time I switched back to snakes as prey, to be sure it gets enough food. With Micrurus sp. I gave up to try to feed them on mice, even if they take them readily.

Best regards

Frank

Hi Frank:

The Micrurus tschudii tschudii is a good feeder, I have two in my job, and they are good feeders. Non problem with the pinky size (1 - 3 days).

I offered dead pinky.

This sp is very calm. I have a pair, the female stays in the serpentarium a few time, but she is feeding well now.

For the next feeding time, i will take more pics, of all process. Very Happy

Greetings from Perú.

p.d. Do you know Maik Dobiey?
