If a snake can track a mouse with its tougue, it would not need you to spread musk to tell that ratsnake was there.
Funny thing, on our sites, the predatory snakes, live with their prey, but do not eat them. They seem to go off a little and consume others of the same species. We find this very curious. A captive analogy, many of us, have experienced many times, putting a live mouse in a cage as a feeder, only to have the snake not consume it. Then we offer a different mouse, that is consumed immediately. I get the feeling, these two behaviors are related. FR
