The Home Ranges and Wanderings of Snakes
Stickel WH and Cope JB. 1947. The Home Ranges and Wanderings of Snakes. Copeia. 1947(2):127-136
In the light of all the evidence for home ranges in the other groups of reptiles, it is surprising to find that the few authors who have mentioned the ranges and wanderings of snakes have concluded that they move about at random, or that they are merely sedentary, moving randomly after leaving any one spot. In the present paper evidence is given that snakes do have home ranges, and explanations are offered for the opposite conclusions of previous authors.
