Abstract

We reported observing an Oxybelis microphtalmus snake by preying on an Aspidoscelis communis lizard. Although there is a lot of information about the O. microphtalmus diet, this is the first predation record of A. communis. This information is important to learn more about the diet of the genus Oxybelis.
