We use Bothrops jararacussu as a model to introduce three different prey items (mice, exotic anuran – bullfrog and native anurans) in captivity. Our experiments indicated that native anurans could be an interesting food alternative to B. jararacussu and other Bothrops species with an ontogenetic diet in captivity.

ABSTRACT The primary features of the alpha‐gal syndrome (AGS) are (i) The IgE ab that are causally related to anaphylaxis with infusions of Cetuximab are specific for galactose alpha‐1,3‐galactose. (ii) In the USA, this IgE ab is induced by bites of the tick Amblyomma americanum. (iii) The anaphylactic reactions to food derived from non‐primate mammals
