Pseudoboa serrana Morato , MouraLeite, Prudente & Bérnils, 1995

Distribution: Pseudoboa serrana has a restricted geographic distribution in the Atlantic Forest of southeastern Brazil, at altitudes higher than 600 m ( Morato et al., 1995; Bérnils et al, 2010; Sousa et al., 2010).

Habitat, time of activity, feeding, and reproduction: Pseudoboa serrana is a moderate-sized species (maximum SVL = 1243 mm) that inhabits forests but may also be found in disturbed areas ( Bérnils et al., 2010; Sousa et al., 2010). It seems to be associated to high altitude grasslands within forests containing Araucaria trees ( R. Bérnils, unpublisehd data). It seems to be nocturnal and terrestrial (Martins et al., 2008) and Marques et al. (2009) suggest that it feeds on lizards and mammals. There is no information on its reproduction.
