I once read that these snakes will attack a baby...and have been known to show up in unexpected places like toilets.

I wouldn’t live on the same island as they do.

Nah, not true, although if an infant is bitten it might be harmful to them simply because of their size. They have, however, destroyed most of the native bird population. The only ones I remember seeing on Guam were a sparrow which if you got anywhere near their nests, they'd swoop down and attack. It was actually so bad that joggers would run with tennis rackets to swing at the birds as they tried to dive-bomb us.

A program to eliminate these snakes was signed by JD Hayworth and McCain used it to beat him over the head. We heard about it on the radio day after day after day. Seems he was right to agree to spending on this.
