The brown tree snake (Boiga irregularis) was accidentally introduced to Guam in the late 1940s or early 1950s, probably from the Solomon Islands. Native to northeastern Australia, eastern Indonesia, and Melanesia, the brown tree snake has significantly damaged the economy and ecology of Guam. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) Wildlife Services (WS) seeks to control snake populations on Guam and prevent its spread throughout the Pacific Rim.
