Boiga irregularis

These are brown tree snakes, also called brown catsnakes. These are currently only here as I was studying a different animal, and I didn't want to forget that the reference mentioned these animals as well. These snakes are invasively found in Guam. In one study, traps set out to catch them were three times more effective in the forest edge than the forest interior, as the edge of the forest is their preferred habitat.https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-017-12464-7 Locally they are found in parts of Oceania, including coastal edges of north-central all the way to eastern Australia and also Papua New Guinea.https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Brown_tree_snake&oldid=1215232439 In Guam they are confirmed to eat more reptiles and birds (and their eggs) than mammals. Being an invasive species they were able to do this by catching 683 of them, murdered them, and then examined the stomach contents. The snakes in this region also move differently sometimes then the ones in other regions, in a "gait" called "lasso locamotion" to climb big cylinders (perhaps meaning larger trees, poles, or beams).
