Abstrakt: We document for the first time three predation events notoriously hard to come by in the Caatinga biome in Brazil: Philodryas nattereri by preying on a specimen of Leptodactylus sp.; the predation of Tropidurus hispidus by the spider Iridopelma katiae; and the predation of Gymnodactylus geckoides by T. hispidus. Although these are basic records, the descriptions of the predation events contribute to the knowledge of the diet of different species of herpetofauna in a Brazilian biome that is threatened by accelerated deforestation.
