RELEASE INTO HELL - RELEASING REPTILES BACK INTO THE BUSH - THE DANGERS - AUSTRALIA |
 | | However the June 1994 issue of Herpetological Review is not all that unusual in carrying four separate articles relating to reptiles newly introduced to the wild in Florida. |
| | In the US Pacific territory of Guam, accidentally introduced Brown-tree Snakes (Boiga irregularis (or fusca)) have overrun the island exterminating native bird species upon which they prey. |
