Mastigodryas pleei predatory behavior was evaluated depending on two prey types, rodents (lab mice) and lizards (cnemidophorus lemniscatus). For each treatment the time duration of each phase of the predation sequence, number of tongue flicks, attack latency, attack distance and bite position on the prey´s body were recorded. The findings show that the maximum striking distance varies depending on the nature of the snake´s prey. Overall maximum striking distance recorded (12cm) was triggerd in an atack directed to a lizard and the minimum striking distance (3cm) was observed when prey was a lab mouse. Striking sistance may be related with the recognition of potential danger attributed to prey characteristics. Different capture and approach tactics are employed to attack harmless or potentially dangerous prey; this was evidenced during the predation sequence, specifically in the bite position on the prey´s body and relative striking distance. Time duration of each phase in the sequence and number of tongue flicks showed no significant differences between treatments.
