Dryophylax phoenix is a snake with wide distribution in northeastern Brazil, with a diet composed mainly of anurans and lizards, presenting a viviparous reproduction. Here we report two cases of saurophagy and provide the first reproductive data for this snake from two dissected individuals collected in Catimbau National Park, a Caatinga area.
