Quemada Grande is an island also known as Isla de las Cobras whose access is prohibited to civilians due to the large number of snakes, very poisonous, that inhabits it. It is located in Brazil, on the coast of the state of São Paulo, and has an area of 430,000 square meters.
This dangerous island is home to one of the most poisonous snakes on the planet, the Burnt Island snake (Bothrops insularis). Local legends say there are five snakes per square meter, although a documentary of the Discovery Channel reduce the number to a snake per square meter.
People are prohibited from entering the island because of the danger of putting a foot on it and also because the 'tenants' who populate their land are in danger of extinction. The snake of the Burned Island can only live in this habitat, so if it were extinguished on this island the species would be extinguished worldwide.
Quemada Grande is an important serpentarium worldwide, so on November 5, 1985 it was declared a relevant area of ecological interest. Although civilians are prohibited from entering, scientists occasionally get permission from the Brazilian Navy to study the environment and the venom of these peculiar snakes.
