Brown Treesnake in Hibiscus

A brown treesnake nesting in an hibiscus plant, Guam. 

Brown treesnakes are found throughout Guam, although they are primarily arboreal and abundant within Guam’s forests. Due to extreme difficult detecting them, their wide dietary and habitat breadths, and mild venom they have had negative ecological and economic effects on Guam and pose an ongoing risk to other islands in the region.
