the Brown Tree snake is a serious problem. There are entire books on it and similar species. It HAS decimated entire bird populations/species on certain islands. Our problem is that we cannot stand just as reptile people. We have to join with the fish and bird people and all the cute little fuzzy mammal people, because most of the population doesn't care about snakes.
There was a news story the other day on a real "snakes on a plane". Several pythons got loose on a Qantas flight in Australia. The reporter was telling how horrible this was until one of the Aussies mentioned they were baby Stimson's pythons. WTH? They were the size of pencils, yet the word python evoked horror with the reporter.
