Obie, I do agree about the Brown tree snakes.
There is a Federal (DoD) inspection program mainly dealing with preventing "exportation" of these snakes from Guam.
Otherwise, Hawaii's ag inspection services are a State of Hawaii function, not CoH.
This snake, or any snake coming to snake free Hawaii would be an ecological catastrophe.
As for plastic bags- I use my big compartmented carrier bag and some re-usable freezer bags for wet or frozen items when I grocery shop.
