It's probably best NOT TO SEND LISA ON HER 5 hour Wacking day task that releases snakes in a friends town. It appears that doing this DECREASES your friends snake count. Don't be a greedy neighbor, when you do his task, CHOOSE OTHER SPRINGFIELD!

Really?

How would that be a greedy neighbor? I would think that would be a good thing because it gives them more snakes? I'm confused.

When you initiate Lisa's task, it sends you to a Psuedo Friends' Menu. The number under your friend's name appears to be the number of snakes they have collected (although the number is delayed and not 100% accurate). When you initiate Lisa's task, it doesn't generate new snakes. Rather, it removes snakes from your friend's inventory, and makes them available for you to whack in their town upon re-entry. So, you can tap more snakes upon re-entry to your friend's town, but at the expense of the snakes your friend has already collected. If you do this to a "real friend," be sure to leave plenty of eggs to compensate for the snake's you have already removed from their inventory. That's why it's best to do this to Other Springfield, since we don't care about their snake inventory. (Your friend may be able to collect those "released" snakes and recoup the lost snakes, but this is still unclear.)
