Hawaii has no snakes because of the population of mongooses brought there to eat the snakes.
“Hawaii has no snakes because of the population of mongooses brought there to eat the snakes.”
I heard there was a mongoose problem now.
I left Guam in 86 and they were starting to have a rat snake problem, the rat snakes would come in on landing gear of heavy Jets they would survive the trip in the gear housing at 39,000 something feet.
Anyway I had a friend that was in Guam about ten years after I was and he said that they’re almost no birds left on the island.
When they got back to the States they were at the hotel swimming pool in California and their 2 year old heard some birds in the bushes and he asked his daddy what that noise was. He had never heard a bird before.

I don’t think Hawaii has ever had a snake problem.
The mongooses were brought in to try and control the out of control rat 🐀 problem. Unfortunately they failed to notice that rats are generally nocturnal and mongooses move about in the day time. Now they have a surplus of rats and mongooses. Attention to details, people.
