On the diet of Rhadinaea decorata (Gunther, 1858)

Lewis, Todd R.; Grant, Paul B.C.

Abstract

Rhadinaea decorata (GÜNTHER, 1858) is a small diurnal leaf litter snake commonly encountered in a variety of tropical forests in Central America. In Costa Rica it is a broadly distributed and a regularly encountered species, however, little is still known of its ecology (SAVAGE 2002). In January 2002 on the edge of a Lowland Forest near Barra del Colorado, Costa Rica we attempted to take a photograph of a young, basking, Ameiva festiva (LICHTENSTEIN & VON MARTENS, 1856) (Teiidae).
