Abstract

Leptophis diplotropis is an endemic species of Mexico with many aspects of its life cycle still unknown. The objective of this work is to contribute to the knowledge about its reproduction through the non-systematic monitoring of a nest observed in a semi-urban environment in the city of Puerto Escondido, Oaxaca. The hatching time of the eggs and the total length of the hatchlings of this species are reported.
