  1. Christiane, something went wrong with the links. Can you seperate them with new lines, perhaps it works that way.

    Are you saying somebody used your photo without permission and misinformed people about the danger? What a lowlife thing to do.

    1. https://learnodo-newtonic.com/inland-taipan-vs-black-mamba This is even more funny... Now my poor snake is a deadly Inland Taipan! :D Posted 9 years ago
      1. Oh my god, stolen twice and misreported twice. Sorry that happened to you, the web really has its share of complete morons. Posted 9 years ago
        1. I now found it in 9 articles and 4 "Experts webpages" Sad that some people have to steal the photos. But to not even care what it is and to give it all this dangerous names, just because it looks dangerous. Posted 9 years ago
          1. 9 articles? that's like thieves stealing from thieves! It's a battle that is very hard to fight, if not impossible. I'm glad you're sharing it here though, in its true nature. Posted 9 years ago

The brown tree snake is an arboreal rear-fanged colubrid snake native to eastern and northern coastal Australia, eastern Indonesia , Papua New Guinea, and a large number of islands in northwestern Melanesia. This snake is infamous for being an invasive species responsible for devastating the majority of the native bird population in Guam.
