	Snake Island (Black Sea) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Snake Island (Romanian: Insula şerpilor, Ukrainian: ostriv Zmiyinyy) - also known as Serpent Island - is an isle in the Black Sea, currently claimed by Romania, but administered by Ukraine and included in its Kiliya raion of Odes'ka oblast'.
		The island is a limestone formation located 35 km from the coast, east of the mouth of the Danube River.
		These "servicemen" have been brought on the island despite the 1997 Treaty between Romania and Ukraine which specifically mentioned that no Ukrainian offensive weapons would be placed on Snake Island and that the island would be declared "uninhabited".

	History of The Brown Tree Snake Invasion on Guam
		In 1968, the snake had reached the extreme northern end of the island and was present throughout the island, although its densities varied widely from region to region.
		Snakes began affecting the birds in the north-central and extreme northern parts of the island in the 1970s, and most native forest species were virtually extinct when they were listed as threatened or endangered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in 1984.
		Although larger snakes are showing signs of stress, exhibited by low fat reserves, the ability to shift from birds to rodents or lizards has enabled the snake to reach and maintain extraordinarily high densities of as many as 13,000 per square mile.

	Snake Island (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Snake Island (Romanian: Insula şerpilor, Ukrainian: ostriv Zmiyinyy) is an isle in the Black Sea, 44 km from the coast, currently claimed by both Ukraine and Romania, but administered by Ukraine and included in its Odes'ka oblast'.
		Also, as the legends say, the remains of Achilles were brought to this island by Thetis, to be put in a sanctuary.
		That is why Romanian diplomats also claim that Snake Island is not an isle/island, but a cliff (which has a pretty different role in international law).

		Identification of tiger snakes by the presence of stripes is unreliable, since this varies with the seasons and the maturity of the snake, and there is also an unstriped fl species (N. ater).
		Tiger snakes are active on warm summer evenings, and are attracted to farms and outer suburban houses, where they hunt mice and rats, and where they may be trodden on by unwary people barefoot at night.
		The Chappell Island tiger snake is the most prolific venom producer of all the fl tiger snakes, with an average venom yield of 74mg, and a maximum recorded yield of 388mg.

	Invasions of the Brown Tree Snake
		Effects of predation by the snake and interactions between introduced lizards are evident in the relative abundances of lizard families, with the primarily arboreal gekkonids declining while the primarily terrestrial and more predation-resistant skinks have increased.
		The islands adjacent to Guam are the northern Marianas, which have vertebrate faunas that are similar to Guam's, including some of the same introduced species.
		The effects of the brown tree snake extend beyond ecological damages; the snakes frequently climb on electrical transmission lines causing faults and disrupting electrical supplies, enter urban and residential areas where they consume poultry and pets, and bite humans causing trauma and serious health risks for small children (Fritts 1988).

	Contrasting Serpent Problems Challenge CU-Boulder Professor
		Dwindling habitat on the tiny island is the primary force driving the venomous snake toward extinction, said Chiszar, a nationally recognized herpetologist and animal behaviorist.
		Although the best bait for snake traps is live rodents, Chiszar believes he is on course to develop a chemical attractant that could be up to 80 percent as effective as live animals.
		The snakes, which can reach more than eight feet in length, are found in densities as high as 13,000 individuals per square mile in certain areas of the island, although 2,000 to 3,000 snakes per square mile is closer to the average.

	10/03/00 -- Paradise for pit vipers
		In Brazil, snakes don't elicit the same hysterics as they do in, say, the UK, where your chances of seeing one are pretty much limited to glass cases in reptile houses and photographers on Blackpool beachfronts with bored pythons draped around their shoulders.
		The family ran in panic one night after snakes crawled in through their windows, so the story goes, and were bitten as they fled through the forest by vipers dangling from tree branches.
		The fires took their toll on the snake population, as did previous field trips, most notably in the 11940s and '50s when hundreds of specimens were removed for lab study.

		The plot: tourists get stranded on Snake Island, and while there are zebras, elephants, hippos, monkeys, wildebeests, impala, leopards, and hyraxes on the island, nobody has to ask why it's called Snake Island.
		There are no giant snakes in this movie, just hundreds of regular-sized ones - poisonous ones, constricting ones, seemingly harmless ones, CGI ones, snakes coming out of dead people's mouths, pretty much every snake on earth with total disregard to where their species originated.
		Snake Island is essentially a Wayne Crawford vanity project (remember Jake Speed?), which gives him the opportunity to write, direct, act, and write and direct one scene where he skinny-dips with a hot female cast member.

		Lake Erie water snakes are uniformly gray or brown and have either no color pattern or have blotches or banding that are faded or reduced (Conant and Clay 1937, 1963; Camin and Ehrlich 1958; Conant 1982; Kraus and Schuett 1982; King 1987b, 1991).
		Lake Erie water snakes use habitat composed of shorelines that are rocky or contain limestone/dolomite shelves and ledges for sunning and shelter (Conant and Clay 1937; Conant 1951; Thomas 1949; Camin and Ehrlich 1958; King 1986, 1987b).

		One such case is that regarding the Serpents’ Island and it emerged as a result of Ukraine’s desire to “regulate” its claim to a belt of territorial waters of 12 nautical miles, including the continental shelf, which presents an obvious economic interest.
		The architecture of the construction and of the other ruins found on the island is specific to the epoch called Cyclopean, resembling the masonry found in Thessaly and Thrace: defense walls constructed without mortar, using enormous blocks of uncut stone; the white blocks of limestone impress the eye.
		This established that “the Serpents’ Island, located in the Black Sea, east of the mouth of the Danube, is included in the territory of the USSR.” The island’s ownership had not been affected either by Ribbentrop-Molotov Pact, or by the Peace Treaty of 1947.

	Ziggy's Video Realm: William Katt in Snake Island (2003) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		There aren’t any big snakes here at all, no "big boss monster" at the end, just lots of regular small and medium sized snakes (and even then, it isn’t until the second half of the movie that one sees more than two at a time).
		Even before we learn that (at least in dreams) these snakes can speak English and sing lyrics bad enough to get them a tryout for "American Idol", we also learn that the understand English and choose their victims in the order of who they hear saying bad things about snakes the loudest.
		The above mentioned striptease (also the catalyst for the snakes dancing in the background) is the start of a scene that has massive potential to turn either into an orgy or the lead in to several offshoot (stop that) sex scenes.

		I usually like movies about animals or reptiles turning against the mean old humans who threaten their environment, but I have to say Snake Island was a major letdown.
		The premise is interesting, a group of people, including a writer numbly played by William Katt, goes to an island called, duh, you guessed it "Snake Island", and quess what the island lives up to it's name.
		There are a couple of scenes that are so surreal and ridiculous they have be seen to be believed---snakes gyrating to really horrible disco music while 2 women dance seminude together and a scene with a snake holding some inane dialogue with one of the actors, it's beyond absurd.

		Thousands of deadly snakes, called golden lanceheads, were lying in wait for their next victims.
		I’d been looking forward to camping on the island for four days, but it was hard to constantly remember that I could never let down my guard—no leaning on trees when I’m tired, no sitting on stumps after a grueling hike, no anything without examining the area first.
		The biggest reason the island is so deserted is that these snakes cover the island.
