You can be pretty sure you don’t have rodents up there then.

Otherwise i'd have to remove it. Hell no, I don't want to be around any damn flying snakes. Having to watch for cottonmouths' hanging from trees when kayaking or canoeing is bad enough, dealing with these isn't something I'd want to do. With the cottonmouths', they just fall down on top of you or your transport so staying out from the canopy works. Not with the scary snakes above.
