Did you know?

Question

Did you know that no snakes are not allowed or found in hawaii because if they were there they would kill all living livestock... reason being is because snakes would have no known predators in hawaii???

Answer 1

Well, you are right about snakes and Hawaii. They are not allowed in, but not because they would be a danger to livestock, pets, small children. They would harm the ecosystem. Like you said, they would have no natural predators. Nothing to keep their numbers in check. Lot of natural wildlife in Hawaii that is not too used to dealing with snakes. The snakes would enter the system and start to eat and reproduce. It would put a strain on the ecosystem and could conceivably cause extinctions in the indiginous Hawaiin species.

That being said, Hawaii does have some natural snakes though. Rare, but there are some.

Answer 2

Well I disagree with you there. If you were to release a Garter snake (Thamnophis spp.) I dout very much that they would eat anything larger than a small frog or rodent.

Maybe if people were releasing carpet pythons, anacondas and reticulated pythons, then there may be a problem, but not all snakes would eat livestock, thats crazy.

Maybe you should check that veryunreliable source again because you must have missed somthing
