Just humorously referencing a thread that was on here awhile back. It talked about rattlesnakes being dropped in to control something or other.

The plan is to drop the toxic dead neonatal mice one by one, from helicopters, with devices attached to cause them to hang up in the branches and not hit the ground. This because the snakes they are targeting are tree snakes.
Hmmmm.......any guesses as to the cost per snake in this reduction effort?
And the goal is not to eradicate the snakes, even though are a non-native species to the area. The goal is to "contain" them.
A few of these invaders became millions since WWII. I suspect that containing them will only guarantee the continuation of the containment effort$ forever.
Aren't there some poor folks living in Guam who might be encouraged by a bounty to more permanently reduce the snake population to the levels where they would become very difficult to find?
Is there ANYONE in charge of costs in our military who might be interested in saving a few million dollars of unnecessary expenditures and wasting a few thousand gallons of chopper fuel a year?

That's awesom!!!! I guess Jake's uncle's girlfriend's roommate's father wasn't lying about the parachutes for the rattle snakes in Brown County 20-years ago....I swear to Gawd it's the truth!

It's not a myth. Google "snakes guam" and check it out for yourself.
