why there is no native snakes in Hawaii?
115603
First off lets clear up the common misconception that there are no snakes in Hawaii. There are no LAND snakes in Hawaii. There most certainly are sea snakes in Hawaii.\n\nThere are no LAND snakes in Hawaii because Hawaii has only existed for the blink of an eye in geological time. Because it is so new all the animals and plants in Hawaii have had to arrive there by travelling across the ocean from nearby landmasses. Hawaii is far too far away from the nearest landmass with snakes for land snakes to be able them to swim that distance.\n\nFor the same reason Hawaii also has no native land reptiles, amphibians or land mammals of any kind. Several species of reptiles and mammals have hitched rides with people or been deliberately introduced to the islands, but so far no snakes.

there are a variety of reasons a captive born boa would die. during the feeding process, if there were any mites on the food, they could make their way into the reptiles' lungs which will cause an upper respiratory infection. if untreated this will kill the snake.\nsome snake owners do what they call "pre-killing" the food before feeding to prevent injury to the snake, while others choose not to deprive the snake its natural fight. either way is fine and both have benefits to the snake. however, feeding live food may as i've indicated cause injury and if untreated, the following infection could kill.\nanother possibility is wild temperature changes. reptiles are cold blooded. their environment should stay approximately 80-95 degrees during the day and around 75-80 at night.  the humidity needs to be between 60-70 percent. new snake owners who don't know or understand the importance of temp and humidity may allow the reptile to get too cold, or equally as bad, too warm. this causes a type of system shock.\nin short, lack of knowledge is lethal.

Anacondas are the largest species of boas and are only found in South America. They are generally aquatic, where they do a great deal of their hunting. There are 4 species: the green, yellow, dark spotted, & Bolivian anaconda. The green anaconda is the heaviest species of snake in the world. They've been documented to weigh 550 lbs and possibly more. They are also possibly the longest snakes in the world too, but there's no reliable proof and true giants are scarce. The females are also larger than the males and the young are born live. \n\nPythons are found in Asia, Africa, Australia, South America, and New Guinea. They usually aren't very aquatic, but they can swim well. Some species live strictly in trees. The Reticulated Python is the longest documented species of snake in the world. The record is a specimen killed back in 1912 or so that was 32 ft. 9 inches long. Pythons are also notable because the females incubate their eggs until they hatch. The females lay the eggs and wrap around them and shiver to keep them warm.

Because there was no midway for hardly anything. Lizards never where halfway between lizard and bird, invertabrae never had a halfway formed spine, apes where never halfway man. Thats the only reason I can think ;)

It is not possible... I lived on Oahu for most of my life (20 years).. and I could never see Kauai.. so I dont think the opposite is true..  But there are islands that you can see other islands from.. just not those two..

Fear of snakes and spiders comes from 3 million years on the African Savanah.  The DNA that supported those fears survived better than the DNA without the fears.

There are snakes in Hawaii. I don't know who told you that there aren't but they have misinformed you. See the link below.\n\nThere are no LAND snakes in Hawaii for the simple reason that the Hawaain islands have never been close to any land where snakes live. No land snake could swim to Hawaii because it was too far away.\n\nThe idea that it somehow has to do with Hawaii resulting from lava flows or a lack of sea level changes is way off base. \n\nNew Zealand is not a volcanic island, and is instead a microcontinent with its own plate. But New Zealand has no snakes either. \n\nIreland is also not a volcanic island and Ireland was formed by sea level changes, but Ireland has no snakes either.

The Goddess of fiery explosions before Hawaiin legend was \n   named Lisai, and the word meant the most confused.  The \n   legend is long and odd, goes like this.  Lisai was the last of\n   a skilled people that lived in mauai, paddled to lanakai and\n   lost their ships, so they could not return.  They found that \n   a previous inhabitant something like the Easter Island giants\n   had destroyed much of the livestock domestics like aliens \n   or uncivilized might do.  So they built new ships and then an\n   angel appeared to Lisai's friend and told her to build a great\n   fire to signal that Peace came to the island.  For she told her\n   your coming here with such great numbers reassures this is\n   a blessed heavenly place and the giants are gone and their\n   spoils are ruined, they will not return and not desecrate again.\n   The fire was a tradition something like for 2000 years on a \n   very high ledge as if signalling for even more to come from \n   other islands.  Then to honor their effort the volcano was \n    named for them, because it appeared with another angel vision\n    and replaced them on their duties.

If snakes evolved from land dwelling creatures, then those land dwelling creatures evolved from sea creatures.  After all, humans evolved on land.

There are many reasons for this, but most are Christian seeing as magic users are thought to be in league with the devil and the serpent also represents the devil. Another one is that in Asia Minor, snakes are associated with prophecy, which most cultures would take to be something dealing with magic or wizards and witches.

The dirt that covers Hawaii is much older than Hawaii it blew in from China. The same forces covered your artifacts.

Snakes are true carnivorous because they eat nothing but other animals. They do not eat any type of plant material.

Snakehead fish are a non-native exotic fish, originally from China.  They are voracious predators, and prolific breeders, and can do a great deal of damage to native fish populations in any ponds they are introduced in.\n\nBack several years ago, someone introduced a single male and a single female to one of the ponds in the Chesapeake/Potomac region.  They had grown too large for the fish tank he was keeping them in, and didn't think it would do any harm.  By 2003, they captured more than a thousand snakeheads from just one section of one creek.\n\nSnakeheads will eat almost anything that moves and fits in their mouth, and can decimate populations of native fish.  There are few if any predators in the region that will eat the snakeheads, meaning that most of their numerous young will survive to adulthood.\n\nTo make matters worse, the snakeheads are able to live on land for short periods of time, and are quite capable of moving from one pond to neighbouring ponds and creeks, especially in moist conditions.\n\nThere have been several ponds that have been poisoned to try and stop the snakehead menace from spreading, but it may be too late.  Numerous ecosystems may be damaged by this introduced fish.
