24 hours straight. No weapons, tools, etc. Just you. Airdropped in.


From wikipedia:

Ilha da Queimada Grande, also known as Snake Island, is an island off the coast of Brazil in the Atlantic Ocean. It is administered as part of the municipality of Itanham in the State of So Paulo. The island is small in size, only 43 hectares (106 acres), and has a temperate climate. The island's terrain varies considerably, ranging from bare rock to rainforest. It is the only home of the critically endangered, venomous Bothrops insularis (golden lancehead pit viper), which has a diet of birds. The snakes became trapped on the island when rising sea levels covered up the land that connected it to the mainland. The ensuing selection pressure allowed the snakes to adapt to their new environment, increasing rapidly in population and rendering the island dangerous to public visitation. Queimada Grande is closed to the public in order to protect both people and the snake population; access is only available to the Brazilian Navy and selected researchers vetted by the Chico Mendes Institute for Biodiversity Conservation, the Brazilian federal conservation unit.

Because there are so many snakes on one island, by some estimates one snake to every square meter (10.8 square feet) of the island, there is competition for resources.

Ok. If it was spider island no, even if they were harmless and didn't know how to use spider guns.

Yes, i'd do it. I would not sleep, and I would basically stay where the water meets the sand. I have a firm understanding of how to handle snakes, snake behavior, and how to handle a threatening situation with a snake, as working with reptiles was my career for about 7 years. I'm confident I could survive a full day and not get bit.
