Abstract

To determine the diet of Erythrolamprus aesculapii we reviewed 15 literature sources and make a list of preys registered in Ecuador and South America. In addition, we reported the consumption of an additional species in the list. We identified a total of 40 prey item, 36 (90%) of them are ophidians (34 colubrids and one elapid). E. aesculapii could be considered as an ophiophagous species.
