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

Yesterday (2013-03-03) I went to a adder hibernaculum to see if the snakes have emerged. Sure enough I could note my first find of the year. It is a melanistic male, approximately 40 cm in length. When I found him he didn’t try to escape and according to my IR-thermometer his skin was barely 9°C when I found him.

Early catch indeed! Hard to imagine we even live in the same country. We got between 50-100 cm snow here (an average of about 60-70 cm - I estimate).

9°C in the sun or shade? What part of Sweden?

Stefan
I measured the temperature on the snake's skin. The air temperature was much lower, probably not more than 3-5°C and it was windy (8-10 m/s).

I found him in Huskvarna.

Cheers!

Aha - OK. Smart - that temp is of course the most interesting (didn´t think of that).

Thanks for the post and hope for less "white" times.
