Abstract
Twenty-seven of the 67 stomach contents of reptiles examined were found with remains of prey species. Most of the identified prey species were found to be closely associated with the niches of their predators. Few significance findings from the study are as follows: (1) first record of a tree mouse Chiropodomys gliroides in the stomach of a forest crested lizard Acanthosauria armata (2) discovery of a rare forest rat species Pitchcheir parvus in the stomach of a cat snake Boiga drapiezii and (3) second record of a mouse deer Tragulus sp. recovered from a cat snake B. cynodon.
