It doesn't work

I placed eggs in strategic positions away from and around my cages, if anything happens to the eggs, I will go on ruthless snakenocide. It's easy to wipe out snakes with poisoned eggs or with hooks and pins inserted into the eggs

She should rear guinea fowls also. Guinea fowls can kill small snakes and alert you about larger ones

Boiled eggs, injected with radiator coolant

After doing this, rubb it on the hens bottom to attach her scents, the snakes are attracted to it.

What is biosecurity measures?

Will you still use wire net to cover the under of their cage? How will you now collect or dispose their waste?
