PREDATION OF HEMIDACTYLUS MABOUIA (SAURIA: GEKKONIDAE) BY A VINE SNAKE OXYBELIS AENEUS (SERPENTES: COLUBRIDAE) IN AN ATLANTIC FOREST FRAGMENT, NORTHEASTERN BRAZIL
Journal Title: Pesquisa e Ensino em Ciências Exatas e da Natureza - Year 2018, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Oxybelis aeneus (Wagler, 1824) is an arboreal snake species that is widely distributed in the American continent whose diet is composed mainly by vertebrates, such as lizards. Several lizard species have already been reported as prey of this snake, including the alien species Hemidactylus mabouia (Moreau de Jones, 1818). Herein we describe in details a predation event of H. mabouia by O. aeneus, widening our knowledge regarding the natural history of both species to scientific literature.
