In your article you don't say why acetaminophen is used. Can you please explain what a mouse laced with a pain killer does to a snake.
Acetaminophen (in sufficient dosage) can kill a snake by causing damage to its liver.
the brown tree snake has such wide variety of prey on Guam that i doubt it will favor frozen mice over lizards, birds, and living rodents.
i guess every stratagem of the "United" States of Amerika" has to involve bombing something, though.
hey check it out though, the Center for a New Amerikan "security" just recognized the environment as key to the security of said (collapsing) nation-state.

who do we bomb to save the environment?
Hey, ryan, here is the best idea yet. Lets bomb that empty space inside your skull where your logic center and brain should have been.
MGio what ryan is saying is corect, i keep and breed brown trees here in aus, and i very much doubt they would favour frozen prey over live prey, one of the hardest parts about keeping this guys is getting them eating mice! they are naturaly a frog and bird eater, so just shows what a rubbish plan it is
