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

Greetings from Riems Island Empty
PostSubject: Greetings from Riems Island   Greetings from Riems Island Icon_minitimeThu 7 Feb - 20:29

Hi everybody,

Nice to meet you all; my name is Nils.

I'm a veterinarian currently working for the German Federal Research Institute for Animal Health on an island in the Baltic Sea. Previously, I worked as a reptile/exoticveterinarian in Austria, the Czech Republic and Germany. During that time I had the great fortune to meet Peter Zürcher as friend and mentor, introducing me into the world of venomous snakes handling and keeping.

Currently, I do not keep any venomous snakes, but rather stick to keeping (and occasionally breeding) different members of the genus Lampropeltis. Working at Peter's collection really won me over for cobras, in particular due to his stunning Naja samarensis and beautiful Naja siamensis specimens. However, there are plenty of other fascinating venomous snake species, preventing me from becoming too biased in this regard. Wink

I like to travel and wherever I go, I try to integrate visiting interesting collections/husbandry systems/wildlife observations in my itinerary.

My next international journey will take me to Gainesville, FL, for a flying fox medical management course. In case someone in this forum knows his/her way around the area, please feel free to suggest to me interesting institutions/knowledgable folks worth a visit, where to stock up on snake handling equipment or good herping locations.

All the best, and have a good day.
