Abstract

Only one species, Sceloporus variabilis, previously has been recorded in the diet of Cerrophidion tzotzilorum. Here I report 2 new prey items for this little known species of montane pitviper. I examined stomach contents from a juvenile C. tzotzilorum and found a skink (Sphenomorphus incertus) and an orthopteran in the family Acrididae. These prey species are similar to those eaten by other species of Cerrophidion.
