Siphlophis compressus (also known as mapepire de fe, tropical flat snake and red vine snake) is a snake found in tropical Central and South America and Trinidad and Tobago. It feeds on small lizards, other snakes, small mammals[1] and probably on frogs and nestling birds, as well as the eggs of nesting birds and lizards.[1]
