与蒸馏水浸泡棉签相比，成年束带蛇术前对蚯蚓浸泡棉签的攻击更多，舌舌率更高。有犁鼻神经损伤的蛇(N=6)手术后对蚯蚓提取物或吃蚯蚓块无明显反应。嗅觉手术(N=6)和假手术(N=6)不干扰对棉签或蚯蚓的反应。
Adult garter snakes preoperatively responded with more attacks and higher tongue-flick rates to earthworm extract soaked cotton swabs than to distilled water soaked swabs. Snakes with vomeronasal nerve lesions (N = 6) failed to differentially respond to earthworm extract or to eat earthworm bits following surgery. Olfactory (N = 6) and sham (N = 6) nerve surgeries did not disrupt responding to swabs or earthworms.
