BROWN TREE SNAKE

The Brown Tree Snake is native to northern and eastern coastal regions of Australia, including Queensland, the Northern Territory, and parts of Western Australia. It inhabits a range of habitats, including forests, woodlands, and coastal areas.

The snake is arboreal, meaning it spends a significant amount of time in trees. It is primarily active at night and preys on a variety of small vertebrates, including birds, bats, lizards, and occasionally small mammals.

The female is known to produce 4 to 12 oblong eggs, with leathery shells, the gees are in hollow logs, rock crevices, and other sites where they are likely protected from drying and high temperatures.

The Brown Tree Snake is mildly venomous, but its venom is not considered dangerous to humans, generally causing only local pain and swelling.
