Methods

Method step description: Fieldwork, preservation and documentation of the speciemens follows Lotzkat (2014).

relevant literature: Lotzkat S (2014) Diversity, taxonomy, and biogeography of the reptiles inhabiting the highlands of the Cordillera Central (Serranía
de Talamanca and Serranía de Tabasará) in western Panama. PhD thesis, Goethe-Universität, Frankfurt am Main, Germany, 930 pp. http://publikationen.ub.uni-frankfurt.de/frontdoor/index/index/docId/37824
Study extent description: Our Study took place in the Caribbean versant of Northern Veraguas, it started at 
08.5482°N, 081.0480°W and expands to 08.6531°N, 081.0337°W around the trail to Cocuyos.
Sampling description: We searched for reptiles and amphibans during daytime and during the nigth. We caugth the animals by hand or with the aid of a snake hook. After catching the animals were photographed and then euthanized.
The animals were euthanized by using a pericardial injection of T61 (Intervet International, Unterschleißheim, Germany). After euthanization we took tissue samples of the animals to get data about their genetic information.
Quality control description: We took photos of the animals in live, to ensure the documentation of the colour of the animals which differs when they are preserved. 
Tissue of the animals was taken by scissors which were sterilized by using the fire of a lighter.
