Ophyophagy is a common feeding habit in snakes; however, there are few records of this behavior for the genus Bothrops. Here, we report the first case of predation of Bothrops moojeni upon Amerotyphlops brongersmianus. Our record reinforces the known generalist habit of Bothrops moojeni and indicates an opportunistic diet.

Ofiofagia es un hábito alimenticio común en serpientes, sin embargo, hay pocos registros de este comportamiento para el género Bothrops. En el presente trabajo reportamos el primer caso de depredación de Bothrops moojeni en Amerotyphlops brongersmianus. Nuestro registro refuerza el conocimiento del hábito generalista de Bothrops moojeni e indica una dieta oportunista de esta especie.
