I say deport the damned snakes to McNab's. Georges Island is way too important as a heritage site and (potential) tourist attraction to be so concerned about the living conditions of a few hundred snakes.
It's not as if garter snakes are endangered! We can't turn everyplace into an ecological reserve....
I wonder how long it will take for a new group to spring up - something like
"The Friends of the George's Island Snakes". That would
really stifle any prospect for the development of this treasure in Halifax Harbour!!
