I agree an excellent resource. Another is "Resolving Human/Wildlife Conflicts" by Michael Conover, it covers both (Guam and HI) and others around the US.
In Hawaii IT IS a real fear. It doesn't have alot to do with "I hate snakes" it has to do with the ecosystem. Hawaiians are a lot more forward thinking and in touch with what goes on on their little islands. The expense and spending time on this is important for them because they realize what happened with (I told you about Jacksoni and the mongoose) the Boiga in guam.
You can't put your mainland thinking on to the island mentality. It is truly a different country.
