What kind of snakes live in the jungle?
The kinds of snakes that live in the jungle are boas, pythons, anacondas, bushmasters, vipers and many other kinds.
Until recently snakes had not found their way to the islands (it is illegal to bring them) but some reports indicate that some snakes have been seen, among them the brown tree snake.
This is especially bad because snakes have no effective predators living on Hawaii and would quickly kill all the native birds and animals. A good example where this happened is the island Guam where snakes have virtually wiped out the native forest birds.
Accordingly, it’s a class C felony to possess or transport snakes in Hawaii. Violators risk a $200,000 fine and up to three years in prison, but the state has still collected or confiscated roughly 100 snakes since 2000. Since many in Hawaii have never even seen a snake, they are especially captivating on the black market, where snakes often arrive in shipping packages or hidden in luggage.
