It is found in Anguilla , Saint Barth lemy , and probably extinct on sint Marteen . The Grass snake Alsophis rijersmai is the only snake in St. Maarten. I was thought to have been eradicated by the Mongoose Westerman, 1955 Sajdak and Henderson, 1991 in Powell et al., 1992 . However, in 1992 there was a report of 5 specimens that were captured at Mary s Fancy, and in the same year one was observed in the field Powell et al., 1992 . A snake was also seen after the hurricane in January 1996 during a field trip at Flagstaf Ecovision AIDEnvironment, 1996 . Snakes of the genus Alsophis and Liophis prove to be more sensitive to introduced predators than other genera Henderson, 1992 . A. rijersmai is not rare in Mongoose free Anguilla and St. Barths, and other species of the same genus are common in other Mongoose free islands of the Lesser Antilles even extremely abundant in some areas of Saba, Dominica and St. Eustatius , even though dogs and cats have probably been living on these islands for hundreds of years already. This snake is not poisonous. It lives on insects, small amphibians, reptiles and warm blooded animals. For its survival it is important to control the Mongoose, and convince people not to kill snakes. The animal s habitat should also be protected.

There are subtle differences in the language s usage by different speakers, and islanders often use it in combination with Standard English . The tendency to switch back and forth from Creole to Standard English often seems to correlate with the class status of the speaker. Persons of higher social status tend to switch between Standard English and Creole more readily, due to their more extensive formal education in the English language school system. Creole usage is more common, and is less similar to Standard English, as speakers descend the social mobility socioeconomic ladder . In the years before Antigua and Barbuda s independence in 1981 , Standard English was widely spoken. However, after independence, Antiguans began to take a certain measure of pride in their language Citation needed date April 2010 .
