Guam - Starting next week, researchers from Colorado State University will be collecting brown tree snakes throughout the island. Guam is the only island in the Pacific where the snake is well established and continues to cause problems economically and biologically.

According to research manager John Simon, 18 total sites will be surveyed, including the villages of Agana Heights, Yigo, and Dededo. Starting next week, Simon says his six-man team of biologists may be in your area around the hours of 6:30pm and 10pm.
