Sleeping site fidelity in three neotropical species of herpetofauna

Abstract

We report and discuss the sleeping behavior, sleeping site features and sleeping site fidelity for two reptiles and one amphibian. We recorded 2 sleeping sites for Enyalioides laticeps with the individual returning to the same site for 7 days; 1 sleeping site for Anolis fuscoauratus with the individual returning to the same site each night for 13 days, and 1 sleeping site for Rhinella margaritifera where we observed the same individual returning to the same site for 5 days.
