Etymology[edit]

The specific name, fraseri, is in honor of British zoologist Louis Fraser.^[2]

E. fraseri is found in western Ecuador and in Huancabamba Province, Peru.^[1]

The holotype of E. fraseri, an adult female, has a snout-vent length (SVL) of 54 cm (21 in), plus a tail length of 15 cm (5.9 in).^[3]

E. fraseri is oviparous.^[1]
