Key Points

The aim is to understand the reproductive biology and maximum brood size of the Yucatán Neotropical Rattlesnake.
Field observations of breeding females were conducted in their natural habitats.
Data were collected on litter sizes and reproductive behaviors.
Comparative analysis with bulletins on other rattlesnake species was performed.
Findings indicate the brood size of Crotalus tzabcan is potentially limited by environmental factors.
Breeding is primarily observed during the dry season with parturition in the rainy season.
Field observations confirm scarcity in data for female specimens compared to males.
