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

Hello Thomas,
They are fantastic looking cornuta, I am buying a caudalis when I come back from Houten snake day, now, seeing your cornuta, I cannot wait. Do you plan to breed from these?
All the best,
Brian.

Hi Marco
Thanks. I must admit, I really enjoyed the area. Loved the habitat, nice to walk, not too hot, and of course lovely specimens to see.
I would love to go back and see more. Did you see any Chameleo namaquensis when you were there?

Got them at dusk Andrew. Out cruising. Was amazing to see them out and about. Would have loved to spend more than 1 night there. Found these 2 in 20minutes.

Hi Rob

It was exremely cold and windy when I was there, not very nice to walk around looking for snakes ;-) Unfortunately I was looking at the wrong places for them, I was in the area around the Prison - about 300 meters away from the water when I remember right.

I was looking for at least 2-3 hours, but did not find one single speciemen - not even a DOR one. So I took my camera for nothing with me :-(

Maybe I have more luck in 2009 when I will go back to the same place but with more time and better knowledge of the area. It's also sad that some of the good places are diamond area :-(

The same for caudalis, they are soo numerous in some areas, but if you're at the wrong place to the wrong time you'll find nothing ! But what I found was a nice little xeropaga in the yellowish-orange rocks near rosh-pina.....but unfortunately did not have my camera with me :-(

Cheers
Marco

It was very windy the days before we got there. Its was nice and still for us, but still chilly in the evening. It was 17deg C when I found them.
You found xeropaga you are very lucky, they are high on my wishlist.
My friend was at Rosh Pinah also looking for xeropaga but found none.
