GONZALEZ-ZAMORA, Arturo; SANCHEZ-LOPEZ, Sónia; DELFIN-ALFONSO, Christian A.  y  BELLO-SANCHEZ, E. Ahmed. First record of oviposition event by Laemanctus longipes (Sauria: Corytophanidae) in Mexico. Caldasia [online]. 2018, vol.40, n.2, pp.390-393. ISSN 0366-5232.  https://doi.org/10.15446/caldasia.v40n2.68091.

Oviposition in elusive reptiles has been poorly documented due to the difficulty in observing it in natural habitats. Here, we document the first egg-laying record in the Eastern Casque-headed Basilisk Laemanctus longipes in the wild. Our record adds novel information about the oviposition of this scarcely studied reptile species.

Palabras clave : Egg laying; elusive species; Eastern Casque-headed Basilisk; smooth casque-headed basilisk.
