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

Discusting.. Guess they eaten up or skinned for the fashion trade, most of their own local cobra population. So now they have to get them from nearby countries. Why dont they just breed the cobras in captivity? I dont care much about what people eat in other cultures, as long as the animals comes from a sustainable population (not in the wild) and is dispatched in a human and non-suffering way!

the problem it's from malaysian who still want to make money with snakes business, because some great south-east asian exporters were based in malaysia, and since the ban of live export in 2010 a lot of them have lost a bunch of market, so they still export but from Bangkok, one of my malaysian contact tell me that, but i doubt the export from thailand is legit...regarding cites papers etc...but here it's definitly contraband!

I went many times to Thailand,and even from very good friends from the Thai Red Cross,I heard that it it very very difficult to export legal.There are some legal ways,but difficult.
The 600 Cobras are on a illigal transport to neighbourhood Countrys,mainly to serve the "crazy Snake eaters"
If you watch Internet/Thai news,you can see that the Thai Coustoms,also stop Trucks,with few houndred Dogs,or sometimes Pangolins and Varanus in very bad shape,etc.,on the way to the "Dog Eaters" and more of them.
