Posted by: z10silver at Sat Aug 11 18:10:37 2007 [ Report Abuse ] [ Email Message ] [ Show All Posts by z10silver ] I won't be feeding them - in about a week or so I will be conducting a study on chemosensory perception in hatchling ringnecks, and how this affects prey discrimination. This will be done by scenting cotton swabs with various prey items and presenting them to each hatchling. The amount of tongue-flicks made by the snake within one minute will recorded and used to calculate the snakes' level of interest in each item. This is a well documented method that has been used with a few other species of snakes, but has not been done with ringnecks before. After the study the snakes will be released where I found them [ Reply To This Message ] [ Subscribe to this Thread ] [ Show Entire Thread ] | ||
