Hi from The Netherlands!

[Venomhunter77]

Hi everyone,

I'm new to this forum and wanted to introduce myself; i'm Venomhunter77 and live in The Netherlands.
I've been keepng reptiles, arachnids and others for quite a while now and am currently only keeping venomous specimens, this is because i recently started a venom research and education project. In The Netherlands there is not much research on venom, nor do the doctors know anything about it.. So all the snakebites here (even the local species, Vipera berus or the common european viper) are something special. I hope to train them on handling envenomations the proper way and not directly trying to amputate the arm (Yes, seriously that's what they think is the best solution is.)

I hope i can share some knowledge here, and also learn new things!

Greetings,

VH77

Welcome my friend.
There is a wealth of knowledge here regarding most Reptile Species, but of course the majority we discuss here are African Reptiles.
Feel free to ask questions and look into the FAQ Tab .

I keep the following species:
Arachnids: Steatoda paykulliana (False widow) x2, Latrodectus tredecimguttatus (Mediterranean black widow), Latrodectus hasselti (Redback spider), Androctonus australis (Yellow thick tail scorpion), Leiurus quinquestriatus hebraeus (Yellow scorpion or Deathstalker) x2.
Snakes: Naja siamensis (Indochinese spitting cobra), Naja melanoleuca (forest cobra)

Will get a couple of Oxyuranus scutellatus canni (Papua taipan) at the end of this year and a Dendroaspis angusticeps (eastern green mamba) at the start of next year.

Forest cobras and the Papuan taipans are some of my favourite elapids. Looking forward to seeing those photos.
