nal structure that allows them not only to maintain stable microenvironmental conditions where they can shelter their colonies, but also to protect themselves from various predators and intruders (Bollazzi and Roces 2002;Diehl-Fleig and Diehl 2007;Velásquez-Múnera et al. 2008).These characteristics allow colonies to have multiple types of interactions with other species, varying from those that can use colony debris to others that present coevolutionary relationships (Mehdiabadi et al. 2006;Mueller et al. 2008;Lugo et al. 2013;Jesovnik et al. 2013).However, information on associations with reptiles is limited and whether any of these cases represent true coevolutionary relationships is not clear.Snakes are known to lay their eggs in nests of ants but whether these are merely cases of females opportunistically exploiting optimal microenvironmental conditions or if they represent a true coevolutionary relationship is unknown (Brandão and Vanzolini 1985;Velásquez-Múnera et al. 2008;Baer et al. 2009).Ashmead's Banded Cat-eyed Snake (Leptodeira ashmeadii) is a nocturnal endemic species in northern South America (Venezuela, northern Colombia, Trinidad, and northern Brazil).This species is found on the ground or in trees near water and feeds mainly on small lizards, frogs, and their eggs (Barrio-Amorós 2019).Few studies address the natural history of the genus Leptodeira (Avila and Morais 2007;
