摘要

众所周知，许多种类的毒蛇会反复使用伏击地点，这一现象可能是由猎物的化学线索引起的。在实验上，我们限制了化学线索的可用性，并记录了五只圈养出生的角腹蛛在其第一个活跃季节的选址。蛇在整个季节的空间运动中表现出个体差异，并重复使用其围栏中的特定位置，这表明空间记忆和休息位置选择的个体差异。空间和物体使用以及相关记忆的个体可变性表明，在为这些圈养个体制定饲养习惯时，应考虑到这一点。

A study of individual differences in spatial use of captive sidewinder rattlesnakes Crotalus cerastes

Many species of vipers are known to use ambush sites repeatedly, a phenomenon presumably informed by chemical cues from prey. Experimentally, we limited chemical cue availability and recorded site selection in five captive-born sidewinders Crotalus cerastes during their first active season. Snakes showed individual differences among the study subjects in spatial movement across the season and repeatedly reused specific sites in their enclosures, suggesting spatial memory and individual differences in choices of resting sites. Individual variability in spatial- and object-use and associated memories suggests attention to such should be considered in developing husbandry routines for these captive individuals.

期刊介绍： The Herpetological Bulletin is produced quarterly and publishes, in English, a range of articles related to herpetology. These include full length papers, book reviews, letters from readers, society news and other items of general herpetological interest. Emphasis is placed on natural history, captive breeding and husbandry, veterinary and behavioural articles
