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

Took this video a few days ago. This happened after all 6 where removed from the cage, fed and the cage completely spring cleaned and then re-introduced to there cage. The cage we have here at Khamai reptile centre has a sky light with real plants.

Hello!

Very interesting movie!
What is the sex-ratio? Is the bigger one a female?
Thanks for sharing, there is not a lot of informations or movies about the reproductive behaviour of Mambas.

in the video the three smaller Mambas are Males and the large one being 'mobbed ' is a female.
Its a pleasure however we did not witness any copulation

As i thought...I read that males are known to engage in combat, but i never saw it.
Is it the right season in South Africa for mating? Can you observe some copulations all over the year or just in a particular season like here in Europe? I know that they lay eggs in summer in the wild, but this not forbid the fact that they can mate all year? Is it right? I was just wondering. I like greens very much!
Once again, thank you

I have also heard that males will engage in combat but i have not witnessed it yet. I believe it may be a little late in the season as these are a KZN locality but i may be wrong. Still so much i need to learn about this species. As far as mating goes they only breed once a year. I too like this species a lot but hope to work with some jamesoni and viridis.
