Kinda different snake stuff.

This is a new concept I think.

But will a wild snake go for a dead mouse? I thought you had to train them to take dead food.

They will eat them.

I heard that today as well. My biggest fear is that they will kill so many snakes on only one one side of the island, creating a massive inbalance. Then the island would be at risk of flipping over. Very bad!!!!

Even this congressman has expressed similar concerns:

I am really curious at how this will work out. I hope they researched what these dead mice might do to other animals who could come across one and consume it.

All snakes are opportunistic feeders, so that idea might work pretty effectively...
