Morpheus it is.
I didn't know this till I read an article in yesterday's paper; thought it was interesting so made it a Q

Q5 Our unseasonably cold Winter killed off at least 50% of an invasive non-native animal in the Florida Everglades. Was it:

a Brown tree snake
b Burmese python
c Jamaican toad

I'll go for Jamaican toad. A guess but I know that Cane Toads are invasive in Australia.

Believe it or not, the Burmese python! People released unwanted pets over the years, and they have found the climate to their satisfaction and with no natural predator; have multiplied like mad! They can grow to 200 pounds and 10 feet!

Q 6 What word is a car marque, a software company and the national flower of Egypt?

The brown tree snake was released in Guam, and has decimated the local bird population

Why would anyone want to introduce an old brown snake - I'm sure there are nicer looking snakes that could be let loose.
