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

PostSubject: B.D. Gemmicincta cannibalism?   B.D. Gemmicincta cannibalism? Icon_minitimeTue 24 Dec - 14:32

Hello,

I have an adult male B.D. Gemmicincta, and I have been searching for a female for over a year now here in the U.S. However, I have read in the past that cannibalism is an observed behavior by this species. Has anyone ever experienced this or have any more information on this? I'd hate to finally get a female only to have her eaten.. or vise-versa. Any comments or suggestions would be much appreciated.

He is well fed (mice, rats, and dove eggs) in a large vivarium with several hide spots, live plants, heat, etc. Is there anything more in the set-up I can do to help prevent cannibalism?

Thank you!

Hello Angelica,

I observed cannibalism only once in the case of new born
B. d. melanota. I import a clutch of eggs, wich was given to me as a gift
from a ,,snaje farm'' in Malaysia.
I incubate the eggs with 100% succes.
The 5 offsprings was together in a box for one week or two.
As I want to seperate them to start feeding, after the shedding,
I found only 4 and one was very fat😁

I sell the 4 offsprings to an other keeper, he put them together again!
And the same result was happend to him!
One snake wad fed by an other!

If your ssp. shows the same as adults, I can't say.
I pers. don't keep Boiga any longer.

regards and merry christmas tobthe US

Thank you very much for the information! I had never heard of cannibalism among juveniles. And thank you for the Christmas wishes!
