Abstract

The Atlantic Central American Milksnake Lampropeltis polyzona feeds mainly on reptiles (lizards and snakes), occasionally on mammals (rodents and shrews), and rarely on birds and reptile eggs. Herein, we report for the first time the lizard Sceloporus grammicus in the natural diet of L. polyzona, in Puebla, Mexico.
