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

Peter I think there is confusion developing here, there are two Indian Echis in the UK both arriving in stone shipments the newspaper article you posted refers to the animal Roger Sharp has not the animal Peter Kane has one was discovered in Derbyshire in the Midlands and the other in the south east

regards Tim.

Sorry, Tim, I am confused, but I think you might be right. I thought there was only one snake and I believed the photo posted by Peter Zürcher on my behalf was the same animal referred to in the Sun newspaper which arrived in Derbyshire in a shipment of slate from India. It appears there are two snakes and the south-east one (Tilbury) is being cared for by a friend (not Roger Sharp) at a sanctuary in south-east England. I was not aware there were two snakes and was under the impression that the one my friend has was the Derbyshire specimen! Shocked What a coincidence!

yes the chances of that must be quite remote , both of these animals are of great importance scientifically as Indian specimens are Impossible to get legally even for research and collecting usable Data from specimens in India is difficult. I know both Bangor University and Liverpool school of tropical medicine are very keen to work with them.

As is the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, or so I'm told.
