Abstract

We present the first record of the snake Micrurus camilae for the department of Sucre, Colombia, extending its known distribution area and contributing with data about its habitat. The specimen was found in a tropical dry forest patch; in contrast with the previous records in which M. camilae was located in tropical rainforests.
