Summary

These data were collected as part of several studies or efforts to remove brown treesnakes (Boiga irregularis) across three sites located in Guam, USA and one site in Cocos Island (Dano), Guam, USA. The various goals of projects were distinct and these data were applied to a more intensive, cross site comparison on the height snakes were detected during visual surveys as a function of their size or body condition.
