Just a random question on the "natural predator" thing. Considering that the original range of the introduced species Sus scrofa (feral pig) is the continent of Eurasia and it's original range does in fact overlap with that of Burms, wouldn't that make it a "Natural Predator"? I am not sure of the actual range of cattle egrets in Africa but considering their appetite for reptiles I would think they would be a "natural predator" on african rocks. That aside just as Tom said there are plenty of native predators that eat snakes that do not have a field guide to the native reptiles of the U.S. so they can't tell the difference as to whether or not the snake they are eating is native or not.
