Based on Oliver's statement about the rattlesnakes' teeth, the most fitting inference is that Oliver feels that he can do anything he imagines - even having rattlesnakes' teeth removed when ladies come to the island. This suggests that he has a sense of confidence and imagination regarding the dangers of the island, indicating that he sees it as a place where he can control and alter reality as he pleases.
