About this document
Rodent Diet of Philodryas psammophidea by Oliver Quinteros is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document reports the first formal evidence of rodent consumption by the snake Philodryas psammophidea in the wild in Bolivia, specifically noting the ingestion of an adult female Graomys domorum. The study highlights the generalist diet of P. psammophidea, which includes a variety of small vertebrates, and suggests its potential role as a rodent controller in agricultural areas. The findings contribute to the understanding of the feeding habits of this snake species within the Inter-Andean Dry Forests
