Bob,
May I know why you report it to AFCD? Do you think the snake will eat people?
It is quite usual (and misunderstood) that snakes are potential hazard, and so they have to be handled. In fact, they are just part of the ecosystem. Most of them are not particularly aggressive.
As Mai Po NR is a natural reserve, there is little justification to report it and handled by people. Just "enjoy it" and "let them alone" are the best approaches.
Just like we do not report a beautiful lady on a street and do report psycho to the Police.
