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

do you think that snakes can hivernate well in a refrigerator at 6-8ºc? i ask this because here , during the winter temperatures are not normally so low ,and tmeperatutres under 3-5ºc are only durng few weeks,during winter sometimes we are at 7ºc and the next 2 weks we reach 15ºc and the temperature drops again...

Hi Borje,
I know people who hibernate reptiles in a fridge but I would prefer other means.
The way you have to hibernate your animals depends upon the species and , in part, their origin.
Let´s take the Peloponnes-Meridionalis that you expect to get, I think you might hibernate them without a refrigerator. The range of temperatures that you write should make it possible to find a room (in the basement,...) with adequate temp. for these animals.

Greetings,
Rainer

I am hibenating allmost all my animals in a separate refridgerator, and have been doing so for years. It works good for me as I only keep european species. Just remember to open the door every now and then ( I do it about 1-2 times a week. to the refridgerator to exchange some air. One can also drill holes in the refridgeratordoor in the top and the bottom, to create some airflow.

A reliable thermometer that have a probe on a cable for outdoor usage is a good tool too.

When I hibernated my Ammodytes I put each snake in a tub on orchid bark to create slight humidity. I then placed these tubs inside one very large Really useful tub.

All around the sides of the Really useful I drilled holes and through these I threaded a long 75wt heat cable (Much like making a wicker basket.
I then set a thermostat up and set the temp to 4c just to prevent the temp from falling to low . The thermostat had a varient of 1 degree either way so it would switch on at 3 and turn off at 5 . I then placed the tub in my garage loft area . I found this worked just fine
