There is some mention at the end that they were acquired from some cohort from the southwest desert but Hawaii, being an island, has some of the most stringent importing regulations to protect their native wildlife, basically making it near impossible to sneak this quantity of illegal snakes onto the island) but I’m going to let this one slide as its a stretch, but the possibility of snakes passing inspectors at the airport is far more believable than some of the loosely concocted plot explanations I’ve seen.Ģ. The same cast of characters we met before and a few new including the venomous eastern diamondback (Southeastern U.S.) and cobras (Asia and Africa). Instead there was a bevy of extremely accurate (except for the teeth) looking critters including the gopher snake (North America) in Mercedes’ purse, several shots of a milk snake (the Americas) a handful of eyelash vipers (central and south America), a couple of corn snakes (north America) slithering on the floor and coral snakes (widespread distribution) on the captain’s control board.Īnd then the big cabin attack with lots of coloubrids (a large group of snakes containing ½ of all snake species, most are non-venomous). They also have a few invasive (introduced) species, including the brown tree snake, but apparently those guys got delayed on the island as neither of them made it on the flight.
