摘要
Previously unfed, newborn rat snakes (Elaphe) were found to exhibit a greater response to prey-object extracts than to a distilled-water control stimulus. Response to the different prey-object extracts was not different. The results indicate that young rat snakes accept a wide variety of prey-objects-those normally eaten by the adult and prey of a convenien t size. © 1969, Psychonomic Journals, Inc..
