> Actually they do need trained people who can identify snakes.... Ahh, he's only 11...he certainly might change his mind in the next 7-8 years! Did you know that the airport security folks in Guam use Jack Russells to check the crates and kill poisonous brown snakes that they find in shipments bound out of the country (esp. to HI). Pretty cool! The dogs find them, kill them, and are so quick about it that they rarely get bitten. Can't remember if they are treated regularly w/ antivenins anyway to the brown snake venom. But the JRT program apparently works well.
