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

Crystal, bear with me, its been a few years since I kept cantils, but in A. bilineatus
I want to think that one sex (males?) have two parietal spots on the top of their heads and these are generally absent in the other sex (females?). I am not sure whether A. taylori have these or not. They are great looking animals.

In taylori the females tend to retain the nice colors of the juveniles, while the males to be be more melanistic over time (old individuals of both sexes turn darker anyway). In addition, their tails are shaped differently, with females having a long, thin tail relative to males. The tails are hidden in your photos for the most part, but the second pic looks like a male to me, and the third pic looks like a female. If you can get some overhead or side photos it would be easier to tell.

I worked with them for many years, such great snakes.

Nice snakes!
Kept the bilineatus myself and bred them a couple of times!
Had a 1.2 group,wich did very well together!
Definately something i would keep again!(Probably Taylor´s this time!)
Try to take some pictures of the tail bases aswell!
Makes it somewhat easier to be sure of the sex,same goes for the spots spoken of above!
Oh man,wish i was back in the netherlands and could get my collection going again..
(Soon will be!!!)
