Eastern Brown Tree Snake

Eastern Brown Tree Snake, Boiga irregularis also Night Tiger
Description
The brown tree snake (Boiga irregularis) is a slender snake with large eyes and a broad head (much wider than the neck). It is light brownish to yellowish olive in colour and occasionally a shade of greenish brown. Black speckling may be present. The pupil of the eye is vertical. The brown tree snake may reach a length of three meters but is typically only one to two metres long. It is a climbing snake and may be aggressive when cornered.
Venom: The Brown tree snake is a nocturnal snake that can be very aggressive when confronted. It is a rear-fanged colubrid, possessing two small, grooved fangs at the rear of the mouth. Due to the placement of the fangs and grooved rather than hollow fangs, the venom is difficult to convey into a bite on a human, thus is only given in small doses. The venom appears to be weakly neurotoxic and possibly cytotoxic with localized effects, but these effects are trivial for adult humans, and serious medical consequences have been limited to children due to their low mass. This snake is still not considered dangerous to an adult human. The venom seems to be primarily used to subdue lizards, which are more easily positioned in the rear of the mouth for venom delivery. This species has been nominated as among 100 of the “World’s Worst” invaders.
