• Resumen

  • Heloderma horridum (Beaded Lizard) is a venomous lizard of large size distributed along the Pacific Coast of Mexico from Sinaloa to Chiapas, and in lowlands of the states of Estado de México, Morelos and Puebla (Reiserer et al., 2013). This lizard inhabits mostly in tropical dry forest at lowlands; however, it occasionally occurs in temperate habitats at high elevation up 1800 m (Guadarrama et al., 2019).  In this study, we extend the altitudinal range of H. horridum in more than 200 m elevation.
