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

Hi Lourance, very beautiful pictures especially the mimetism of Bitis caudalis in his habitat.

Hey Lourance,

excellent pictures, thank you for that. I´m wondering if you put the red Bitis schneideri on the white sand just for the picture or did you found it on the same sand colour? I read, that the animals always have the colouration of the surrounding surface, and I never saw a picture of a red one on white sand or vise versa.

Best regards

Frank

Thanks for all the comments.

@Frank, the Bitis schneideri was found on that white sand. We have 3 records now from that area of the red B schneideri on the white sand, very unique area.

Thank you.

Thanks Lourance, this shows impressively why shots in the wild will always top terra shots. Beautiful light. I would love to join in herping in that area.

Nice stuff!

I hope none of the dwarf Bitis were collected. This is in the fieldwork/herp trips section, so I assume not. Pretty amazing species to see in situ.

Hi thanks again for the kind comments.

@Martti Niskanen - None of the animals were collected. I take scale clippings, measure the animal, take a few photo's and then release the snake in the hope of recapturing it in the future to build on the data I have from that specific area. Due to my fear of people collecting I have not given any kind of precise locality just the provinces. As soon as guys know about an area they try and rape it of all the possible fauna.

Beautiful images. I especially like the pic of B caudalis on the rocks.

Cheers!
