Thermorregulation in the behaivor of Heloderma horridum (Squamata:Helodermatidae) in captivity

Abstract

The temperature is one of the factors that influences the behavior of the reptiles, and due to the few studies in wildlife and captivity on the natural history, behavior and thermal ecology of Heloderma alvarezi (endangered species), we hope that this note can be a part waters to begin to gather information, that can contribute to the management and conservation of H. alvarezi.
