Okinawa was not tropical, but did have some interesting wildlife! It had a snake called the Habu, I believe that is the spelling, that was poisonous, and very nasty sealife also.

You are right about the tropics. Like I said, the PI and Vietnam had some nasty critters. We hit the trench line one night (rocket attack) and were greeted by some kind of python. I am not sure what specific species it was, but one of the guys killed it with his k-bar. Lot of weird bugs also.
