Abstract

The predation of a free-living Tropical House Gecko Hemidactylus mabouia (Moreau de Jonnès, 1818) by the Spotted Brown Trope, Tropidophis pardalis (Gundlach, 1840), is recorded for the first time. Other two vertebrates, the Cuban Green Anole, Anolis porcatus Gray, 1841 (Squamata: Dactyloidae) and the small frog Eleutherodactylus planirostris (Cope, 1862) are also recorded as preys of this dwarf boa in the same locality.
