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

Yeah, I had to take it upon myself to go find the pics, but it's worth it to me to see more squams. Laughing I wonder if the male took a bite to the head? I love the family photo, Andrew! Nice to see that many squams in one place. I take it that you're waiting on babies from some of them? Awesome! Wink

Sorry Gents , are the pictures fixed now?
Good thinking Derek , I overlooked a possible bite but I am sure hat animal has been on his own for 3 weeks prior to the lump developing..

Does it look like the animal will die? I hope not.

Yes a lovely collective picture of the greener type animals , those are all males ! so no babies from them haha, it appears one of the green females appears gravid , but as they are fresh drc imports , would she be looking full of babies by this time already? , I thought they only breed now and drop in march ?

The one with the bump on the head:
is he kept together with others or alone?
Might have been a bite or something which developed a severe inflammation.
I.M.H.O. you should see a veterinarian with that one, it could require surgical opening and antibiotic treatment.
Just my two cents.

Yes, the photos are working now. And yes, they are supposed to breed in October according to all of the literature. But we are having a lot of ceratophora born here in the US from animals that were imported in May/June, so maybe the squams are off kilter, too? Global warming?

I'm not sure about the male's head. If it's not due to a bite, I would think it's due to an abscess next. Now whether that is due to a parasite or an infection, who knows? You would certainly have to get a vet to lance it and take a sample. Good luck with it!
