Send the administration and their minions there as well. Put all those snakes to good use.

I saw a Nova or Nature about this.
My thoughts were “Nuke it from space!”

Often, snakes stalk their prey, bite and wait for the venom to do its work before tracking the prey down again. But the golden lancehead vipers can't track the birds they biteso instead they evolved incredibly potent and efficient venom, three to five times stronger than any mainland snake'scapable of killing most prey (and melting human flesh) almost instantly. This is hysterical. Either "scientists" or the writer believes that evolution moves faster than the lifespan of a snake.

I once went to D.C. and the place was hip deep in snakes. There were Democrat snake, Republican snakes, House snakes, Senate snakes, Government snakes,Judge snakes and the deadliest of all the lobbyists snakes. No place on earth with more snakes than D.C. as the white hut has the king of snakes living there.

How can the snake be endangered when he made it to the White House twice?

Set fire to the island to kill the snakes and then make a resort out of it. Problem solved.

Obviously this evolution was a conscious decision on the part of the snake. It all seems so simple. Why take time for eons of “natural selection”.

Well, I learned something, Elba and St. Helena are not the best places to exile a deposed dictator.
THIS is the perfect island for the new white hut. Just like at Elba, the deposed dictator can have full authority over all he surveys.
Good luck.

One snake or more every square meter? I miss Steve Irwin.
To: bgill
Napalm would be nice. Knowing that there are idiots out there who will catch and sell them for a lot of money to other idiots who might be careless is enough for the island to be declared a public health hazard.
There are certain endangered species who deserve to be endangered.

The snake is currently listed as critically endangered... Napalm can fix that...
