The boas eat mice as well as birds. kill them and the mouse population goes up dramatically.
Ever since the GBE land clearing I've been seeing lots of Brown Water Snakes also eats mice.
Lots of good snakes on the island almost never see a bad one.

this one bites but not poison lives in the coconut trees.
called a Rat Snake.

We get lots of Indigo Racers in our area. They give a nasty but non venomous bite too and boy can they make a stink when they let off their musk glands. Absolutely beautiful. We also get those turquoise/blue coloured vine snakes. They are all a very important part of our ecosystem.

I was gonna say: must have been damp lodgings if you were a few miles south of town

Actually the Boas have a right to be here, my fault in a way. but the little Dove I named Dweep, I had her for a few months, hand fed her, she would sit on my arm while I painted, I was introducing her to the wild doves and she was just taking off to fly with them, she would come back, I left her in a outside cage more and more often, and she met the boa. So now I have just changed my game plan. Boas can stay, and also I dont foster small puppies, or small anything that cant stay inside.
