Clutches of the Cat-eye snakes genus Leptodeira spp. (SERPENTES: Dipsadidae), with a bibliographic review and new reports for Panama

The reproduction of Neotropical snakes, such as those of the genus Leptodeira, varies widely influenced by climatic factors, with species ranging from strictly seasonal to continuous reproductive patterns. Recent research reveals significant variability in reproductive cycles, determined by local en...
