Abstract
Snakes are predators that use various mechanisms to subdue their prey. The Leptodeiragenus usually feeds on anurans and small saurians. Necrophagy, or feeding on dead or decaying organisms, is observed in some Neotropical snake species, including Leptodeira annulata, L. ashmeadii,L. septentrionalis, L. splendida and L. rhombifera. This work presentstwo new reports of necrophagy in L. rhombifera. These observations highlight adaptive feeding behaviors in species of the genus Leptodeira
