Abstract

We report the first predation event of the red-headed Basilisk (Basiliscus galeritus) by the Blunt-headed treesnake (Imantodes cenchoa) in a tropical rainforest in Colombia. This new record contributes to a better understanding of the natural history and trophic ecology of two species of reptiles in their predator-prey interaction.
