"An island off the coast of Sao Paolo, Brazil, is home to one of the deadliest snakes on Earth—and there are a lot of them. Some believe there's a golden lancehead viper for every square meter of Ilha de Queimada Grande, or as many as 4,000 of them, Smithsonian reports; others say there are five per square meter, the Wall Street Journal notes."

This is where the Garden of Eden was until it was overrun with the serpents.

Just because they say there is x anmount of snakes per square meter doesn't mean there aren't places without snakes

Yeah, but I think they estimated that there is no place on the island more than 5 feet from one of those snakes - and one of those snakes is three too many.
