Are There Snakes in Hawaii? Turns Out Yes But Special

Are there snakes in Hawaii? Technically, there are no native snakes… on land. But there are a local species in Hawaiian waters.

Bright yellow and black, Hawaii’s Yellow-Bellied Sea Snake measures about 30 inches long and swims in the warm coastal waters. It’s strictly non-terrestrial.

SUMMARY:
– Bites from the Yellow-Bellied Sea Snake are so rare that the Waikiki Aquarium couldn’t find even one report of anybody in Hawaii being bitten by one.
– Anywhere from 2,500 to 5,000 miles of ocean separate Hawaii’s islands from the nearest landmass. That’s too far for most animals to travel.
– Hawaiians are incredibly vigilant about keeping out any snakes who try to visit. Local authorities work hard to capture the ones that’ve somehow made their way into the state.
– Take Guam as an example – invasive snakes devasted the bird population, eating up as many as 10 of the 12 known avian species there.
– But sometimes the person who brought the snake isn’t a criminal – it can happen by accident.
– There is an amnesty program that lets you turn in any snakes you happen to possess and with no penalty!
– In 2018, the state’s Department of Agriculture invited 4 brown tree snakes to come and live in Hawaii.
– These snakes are working hand in hand or … well … together with the DoA in a big game of “Hide and Seek.” By hiding and waiting, they help train dogs to sniff them out.
– Also, there’s one snake that’s so common, your chances of seeing him are pretty high. These guys are so tiny that most people mistake them for worms!
– They’re almost blind, but they can recognize light. Also, they’re not venomous, so no danger here!

    Actually there are native snakes on hawaii such as brown tree snakes, blind snakes and many more tropical snakes. I know this because I am a young wildlife biologist. Oh and also garter/ribbon snakes are the most common.
