The Burrowing Python, Loxocemus bicolor Cope, 1861, is a secretive snake that occurs primarily in subhumid
lowlands and adjacent premontane slopes along the Pacific versant from Nayarit, Mexico, to northwestern Costa
Rica, and on the Atlantic versant in interior valleys in Chiapas, Mexico, Guatemala, and Honduras, at elevations
from sea level to 979 m (Castro-Franco and Bustos Sagal, 1994; Savage, 2002; Solórzano, 2004; McCranie, 2011;
Carbajal-Márquez et al., 2015). The total length (TL) of this snake is known to range from 700 to 1,600 mm
(Alvarez del Toro, 1982; Mora and Chaves-Quiroz, 1989; Solórzano, 2004). This species preys primarily on terrestrial vertebrates, including anurans, lizards, snakes (including its own species), and rodents, as well as the eggs of
turtles (including sea turtles) and iguanids (see Merchán and Mora, 2001, Savage, 2002, and Solórzano, 2004, and
references therein).
