Funnily enough keeping the snakes out of the hutch will be one of Yorg's major problems.

yorg,

Make sure they don't become food for Eleonora's Falcons, these birds feed on insects and small birds and there are loads of them about now feeding on the cicadas but their favourite food is small birds.
