Brown Treesnake

The Brown Treesnake is a non-native snake species originally from Southeast Asia that has become invasive in places like Guam. It is about 6 feet long, nocturnal, and adaptable, preying on birds, lizards, and small mammals. Its presence has caused significant ecological disruption, including the decline of native bird populations, and poses risks to human health through its venom, though bites are rare. Efforts to control its spread include trapping, hunting, and barriers, aiming to protect native ecosystems and prevent further ecological damage caused by this invasive predator.
