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

My first idea was a species of boiga, but there are round pupills.

I looked at the scalation of head and it seems to be a a color variation of Gonyosoma oxycephala

thanks, but thats definitely no Gonyosoma, the head is much to divided from the body, not ratsnake like. i was thinking more like Stegonotus, but without scale counts.....



cheers
Mario

I would say some Stegonotus, but as Mario writes, without scale counts clearer identification is nottoo easy.

Cheers,
Rainer

Hm. You are right. I don´t remind size of the head...
The genus Stegonotus has changed to Lycodon?

http://www.jcvi.org/reptiles/species.php?genus=Lycodon&species=muelleri

Here are some discriptions

thanks for the Links Fabian but Lycodon reaches not that length. some Members of the Lycodon family might had Stegonotus as Synonym. but the Family Stegonotus is still valid as far i can recall, and they would be able to catch up with the size. i am still not convinced, as Stegonotus sp. i know also do not have this head/body shape.

the guy who shots the picture told me they climb very well trees and could be seen up to 20 meters up. also that does not fit for Stegonotus.

ill guess, we might need to wait until some of our Systemnaticus Member might be able to enlighten me... perhaps someone with more knowledge about colubrids etc.


cheers

I have read in the catalogue of snakes in the british museum
http://books.google.de/books?id=Ikk4cfPXZOQC&pg=PA367&lpg=PA367&dq=Stegonotus+Samar+Island&source=bl&ots=FCEXw0pckf&sig=gzTDqvPd3SL-6M7ZhX9qC-z4lDg&hl=de&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=1&ct=result


Stegonotus muelleri
samar island
total length 2070 mm
two prae and two postoculars
loreal longer then deep
lips and lower parts dirty yellowish white.

Stegonotus muelleri has changed to lycodon muelleri (Lycodon muelleri — LANZA 1999: 97)

But we will wait what a Systematicus will say.
