Withstanding cold nights at high elevation: thermal strategy of Atractus crassicaudatus, a nocturnal tropical snake endemic to the eastern Andes of Colombia

Thermoregulation in highland tropical environments imposes physiological challenges for reptiles. The interaction between individual thermal requirements with external thermal conditions in these environments remains mostly unknown. We examined the thermal strategy of the nocturnal snake Atractus c...
