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

I have 2.2 Atheris squamigera in plastic tubes
They are 1.5 years old and have never been in terrarium
I tried to house one in a well planted terra but the snake was hidding on the ground without moving for weeks
The terra was 60x45x60 cm (Lxlxh)
Do you think that the terra was too big ?
Or maybe someone experienced the same probleme

Hello Jean-Pierre, what do you mean for "plastic tubes"? Plastic boxes?
I have a pair from 2011 and just housed them in big plastic boxes with branches and woods.
Some times even my specimens stay on the ground for days.

First you have to consider how big is your Atheris, for example my male is adult size and could be easily be housed in a terrarium as the one you described. However if the snakes are too small they will not have problems to hide but to find and accept food in my opinion.

Have you tried to watch the specimen you housed in the new terrarium during the night? As they are nocturnal snakes are more active during those hours.

You can try to house in the big terrarium the other specimens too, as each animal has a different personality they could act in different ways.

Hope I have been helpful,
Alex

Hello Alex,
My Atheris are living in arboreal rack, in plastic boxes.
The spécimen housed in terrarium was living on ground all the time, including night.
I will try with the others
Thanks a lot for your answer
