dc.description.abstract	We used 10 microsatellite DNA markers originally described for two Crotalus and one Sistrurus species to infer paternity in a captive‐hatched clutch of Lachesis muta. Although the dam was known, records listed two potential sires, which prevented the inclusion of those offspring in a captive breeding program....
