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

Because I've never (until today) seen a wild ammodytes before I asked a friend to go on a herp trip around Sofia (capitol of Bulgaria) and here is what we found. I got sunburned but It was worth it Smile Sorry for the bad quality of the photos but I forgot my camera ;D Every photo except the last 2 was taken with a phone.

It was almost time to go and we still hadn't found any ammodytes. Then we came across this place. There we found at least 10. We caught 4 and photographed 3 of them.

There were a lot of huge Lacerta viridis but they were very fast and hid under rocks as soon as they saw us. We weren't able to photograph any.

I love to see Vipera ammodytes in the wild and I can not get enough.
Your photos are not bad at all.
I guess you had a wonderful day Martin, really nice find.

Here are some photos from the last two trips to the same place. Guess I don't have any luck with cameras... The battery on my camera wasn't functioning properly (I found that out at the last moment...) so there are a lot of photos taken by phone.

Nice founds of the ammodytes, it looks like they all have not shed yet. When was the winter gone in Romania or special this place? A high elevation?

Im in Bulgaria Smile They were just starting to shed when we went the second time. Too bad we had to cut the second trip short because of an accident with one of the babies Sad
