What did we find out?

The king snake really responded to the plain water, judging by the large number of tongue flicks. Since that was its first test, we figured it might just be interested in checking out the new object in its cage. The milk snake flicked its tongue most often for the frog water, but only slightly more than the other scents. The corn snake responded most to the mouse water. It barely reacted to the other samples. The python flicked its tongue a lot at the mouse water too, but only a few flicks less than the other samples. It looked like each snake responded most often to the scent of its regular prey, which is usually a mouse or a frog. We'll try the tests again another day to see if we get the same results. more...
