Anyone here on the forum from Mayaguana.

I have been hearing weird stories coming out of Mayaguana. Weird animals -- screams in the night -- animals the size of raccoons being spotted.

It turns out that the barges carrying construction materials from the anchor project, originating in the southern US, have brought over more than construction materials. They may have brought over a colony of opossums.

These animals eat birds eggs, anything and are an ecological disasters. My peeps are telling me that there is only one quarter (1/4) of the flamingos left on Mayaguana.

Scary! But not surprising. We import stuff and never really look for those things that might be "hitchhiking." I am waiting for someone to import (by error) some rattle snakes. I am surprised it has not happened before now.

You a behind the eight ball without a q,they have already been spotted at the container port here on GB and it's known that one of the snakes or more got away.The guys them know for sure it was not a chicken snake they killed one and that wasn't no chicken snake.But these things go unreported don't forget these ships come from all over the world,IT IS VERY SCARY

I went to school in a college town- with so much bush- excuse me foliage- it was ridiculous- man you couldnt even sit under a tree- a new bug would fly on you! (the nightime was the breeding ground for the possums and racoons to come out and play-their nurotic-- my friends who lived "in the forest" use to be scared to come out at night and if they did they would run to their apartments for fear of being attacked by these animals- you couldnt even go to the trash at night- they was eating their meals and they would attack! lol

a 1/4 of the flamingos. Possum (the ones that play dead so you gotta kill um twice- lol) are vicious rodents: A qucik fix would seem to be putting moth balls down around the areas...they and racoons seem to hate them. You must fine the ships/companies whose cargo brought int hese animals- and Fisheries need to hire some overnight people to combat this natural disaster a la boa's in the Everglades!

***up on this chair*** Man yinna stop talkin bout rattle snakes in this here Bahamas!

When the dude from florida brought in all them tree's (Manuel Diaz) there was talk of rattlesnakes.

And now all snake's in the Bahamas will be under attack as we don't like them from the break. We have no idea how benificial snakes are and what kind of RAT problem we would have if it was not for the dreaded chicken snake. Although our domestice snakes are harmless and help control the RAT problem we as the smart stewards of these islands continue to kill them. Stupid is as stupid does!

It is the good lawds fault..humans just carn stand snakes...goes back to Adam and Eve. We see a snake and we have a mad, irrational urge to smite them..I am guilty myself.I killed a huge fowl snake once, and a little black one one time too. I saw the snake and lost my dam mind!

You losing your mingd is the LAwds fault. We so twist up we een know up from down. The lord made the snake humans demonised them. We as a species seem a bit daft for being at the top rung.

I saved a lizard that I was gonna kill from be devoured by a snake- I remember it as clear as day I went looking for lizards with my cutlass (I use to love to kill um when I was small) and I found a big one and when I move the rock the lizard was in a stand off with the snake- I started screaming and I didnt go by that rock for a long time! as a matter of fact whenever I would see where the snake would shed its skin I wouldnt go anywhere near there for a long time...


the dark quiet comfort that those palms trunks provide is the perfect hiding spot for snakes- rattlesnakes and God knows what other kind of snakes that arnt harmless a la garden or fowl...does the clinics and PMH have enough anti-venom to save a few lives if someone got bitten?


as most of you should know my school's mascot is the rattlers and how we got our name is because the geographic location of my school was filled with nothing but venomous rattlesnakes...so how we were able to gain access to the land and build on it was by bringing in pigs (and you know they eat any and everything) and they cleared up "the highest of seven hills" of the snakes..good story aint it? they got enough pigs on guana or wherever a lot of this environmental distruction is going?
