The false coral Oxyrhopus trigeminus is a very common snake in Northeastern Brazil. The diet of O. trigeminus includes mainly lizards, although the consumption of small mammals and birds has been recorded in other studies. Ophiophagy had previously not been reported for the false coral snake. This event occured during a wildlife rescue operation. Upon capture and translocation of an adult individual of this species, the snake regurgitated an individual of the vine snake Oxybelis aeneus.Asociación Herpetológica Argentina
