      There are (almost) no snakes in the wild in Hawaii except for the tiny Island Blind Snake.
      
      There have been a few Brown tree snakes found, but they're non-native.
      
      The state gov't works hard to keep snakes out because the birds there have no natural defenses against them.

      Apparently some trouser-snakes have no hiss and remain rock solid for hours

      That's true - but they only taste like chicken after they've crossed a road

      Is your female producing fertile eggs?
      
      It's not uncommon for females to lay infertile eggs even when not having been introduced to a female.

   Bearded dragons wave one hand as a sign of submission.
   Not technically a reptile but pink-toe tarantulas are hatched having black toes and pink bodies.

      But we dislike the sour taste of conservatives.  It takes a tumblebug to eat one of those! Hey Sneako!
