In oviparous reptiles, nest site location has received increasing interest from evolutionary ecologists because it may affect fitness in several ways. Nevertheless, nest-sites of Neotropical snakes are poorly known and there are only sparse reports of natural nests in Brazil. Herein, we describe two natural nests (microhabitat, nesting areas and nest types) of the false-coral snake, Oxyrhopus guibei in southeastern Brazil. A clutch of nine eggs was directly deposited on the soil within a chamber formed by several rocks. Nest was located at the edge of a rural road near the entrance gate of a small farm. The second nest was located in a house backyard. A clutch of ten eggs was found inside an abandoned rabbit burrow in an open area which enabled direct sunlight exposure.
