Can curl up on a quarter!
The Caribbean area has a great diversity in critters, many very small and unique.

The good news is that there's no possible way it can eat rodents!

It's not bad news that a snake, in the wild, must eat rodents. They, too, must eat and it's basically the web of life. They help keep the rodent population down, while another animal helps keep them down and on it goes. Also, snakes can unhinge their jaws, so you never know if this small snake will eat a very small rodent. It's the way things are in the wild.

I think we were alluding to people NEEDLESSLY breeding and keeping large snakes as pets, people who think live feedings are cool. That is not "the wild", is not "nature", and should be illegal.

But we're not talking about pets, we're talking about this small snake in the wild. There's a difference.

There you go! Nature is Nature; a balance.
