Abstract
We conducted a literature review to address the potential for using a native, vertebrate predator of brown tree snakes ( Boiga irregularis) as a biological control method on Guam. Both actual and potential predators were included in our review. We located two actual predators (red-bellied black snakes ( Pseudechis porphyriacus) and cane toads ( Bufo marinus)) and 55 potential predators of brown tree snakes. However, none of the native predators of brown tree snakes appear likely candidates as a biological control method on Guam due to their lack of selectivity in their feeding habits and unknown aspects of their natural history.
