About Sibon longifrenis (Stejneger, 1909)
Sibon longifrenis (Stejneger, 1890), commonly called Stejneger's snail sucker or lichen-colored snail sucker, is a species of snake belonging to the Colubridae family. This species is distributed across Panama, Costa Rica, Honduras, and Nicaragua. Its primary diet consists of amphibian eggs, especially frog eggs, but it also preys on small oligochaetes and mollusks like slugs and snails. If amphibian eggs are missing from its diet, the snake can develop a nutritional deficit and poor body condition.
