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.)

Is there a way to note this briefly in the walkthrough (this thread's OP and the main one)? People are more likely to see it there. Of course not everyone reads that, but I'd be happy with fewer people "releasing" (whatever that means) my snakes. I'm also glad to know this so that I don't take snakes away from my friends!

I had time to make a nicer version; it's on the main Building Guide & Walkthrough and Lissa will copy it over when she gets a chance.

Am I missing something?

I've completed the tasks and can whack snakes in my own town, however when I go to my friends towns I can see snakes and eggs but not whack them :-S

Anyone??

Have you got the License yet? (400 snakes) That starts the ability to whack snakes in other towns. You can never collect eggs in other towns, but you should be able to drop them.

I'm going to fix this! I have to get to the laptop, hard to do on the iPad. Give me a bit.

I'm never going to get to the license at this rate with people stealing my snakes.
