About 11,000 years ago, at high tide, part of the land was separated from Brazil and an island was formed - Keimada Grande - a luxurious green area with lush vegetation and many bird nests and this is one of the worst places on the planet. There are no hotels, no beach, no people talking, no animals in this forest. This beautiful sunny location on the Atlantic Ocean could be one of the best exotic resorts. But tourists are in no hurry to come here. And what is most interesting, even entry is prohibited here. So what's the deal?
This Brazilian island is a unique nature reserve, the largest serpentarium in the world and protected by law. Big house for Bottrops. You haven't guessed who it is yet? The most venomous snake on earth. After the bite, the body is paralyzed, the body rotts down to the bones, causing terrible pain. And, of course, in the end, death.
There are so many of them that there is nowhere to put your foot. They prove that the population of poisonous individuals is up to 5 thousand. They sleep, watch, wait for the next gaping victim. They hunt. Their poison is deadly, causing burning unbearable pain. It seems that snakes are guarding their homes and no one else is allowed here, they are constantly multiplying, increasing the population, since no one can interfere with them. Bottrops are full-fledged owners here, they destroyed all animals so that no one would interfere with their domination on this island. They crawl through trees and look for small prey in the form of lizards and small bugs. And their food is also small island birds, which do not understand what such a neighborhood promises them, and sit on branches, but then danger awaits them. These reptiles do not have enough food and therefore their poison has become several times stronger over time. Because by biting a bird,it will no longer fly away, but falls dead - and the paralyzed victim becomes a dinner for the snakes. Reptiles climb into nests and eat chicks.
After eating, stretch out in the sun and enjoy their dominance. They never leave the island; they live in the forest and do not slide down to the water. According to legend, pirates brought their treasures to the island of Keimada Grande. And so that no one would steal them, snakes were released to guard. Subsequently, they multiplied and populated the entire island. Therefore, now, in order to find the pirate treasure, you need a daredevil who dares to set foot on the island. And after all, there are such daredevils, but their search ends with a bad outcome. Don't take that risk. After all, there were deaths on the island and more than one. Here are some blood-curdling stories.
An automatic beacon shines lonely here and, as it were, warns an accidental traveler: "It's dangerous to sail here!" But once a watchman worked at the lighthouse and lived here with his family. One night, snakes crawled into the house, frightened people tried to run away. But, having run out of the house, they were immediately bitten by numerous snakes that hung from the trees. So they remained forever on the island.

And one fisherman, seeing the beauty of the island, wanted to enjoy exotic fruits and lie in the sun. But it was not there. As soon as he stepped onto the island, he was immediately attacked by snakes. Frightened, he reached his boat and died a painful death, bleeding to death. They found him in the boat, and the deck was covered with blood.
Nevertheless, several businessmen tried to settle the island in order to establish a banana plantation there. They tried to burn down the forest in order to destroy all the snakes. However, once on the island, the hired workers were attacked, the victory was on the side of the reptiles. Then for the second time it was decided to wear rubberized suits and appear on the island. However, in such a hot sun, I had to make a choice: either suffocate in this spacesuit or undress and be bitten. So they had to leave the island, saying goodbye to their venture.
Only the most risky and daring scientists visit the island for research. But for this you need to have the necessary equipment, choose a rocky coast for the approach and caution should be in the first place, so as not to turn out to be another food for snakes.
