Tactile stimuli induce deimatic anti-predator displays in ringneck snakes

This file is data for “Tactile stimuli induce deimatic
anti-predator displays in ringneck snakes”. The species is ringneck snakes (Diadophis
punctatus). “SnakeID” is the unique numerical ID for each snake. For “Sex”,
M=male and F=female. “DateCollected” is the collection date for each
individual. “Gravid” indicates whether female snakes contained eggs, with
1=gravid and 0= not gravid. “Scars” indicates the presence of scars, with 1=
scars present and 0= no scars. “SVL(mm)” is snout-vent length in mm.
“TailLength(mm)” is the length of the tail in mm. “Mass(g)” is the body mass in
g. “Ecdysis” indicates that a snake was shedding skin, with 1= shedding and 0=not
shedding. “CollectingBodyBodyTempC” indicates the body temperatrure during
capture. All other columns contain are binary variables that indicate the
presence (1) or absence (0) of behaviors (“Flee”, “Bite”, “TailCoil”,
“MuskDefecation”, “LipCurl”) exhibited
during collection (“Collecting” in variable name), processing (“Processing” in
variable name), or tactile stimuli trials (“T” in variable name). Note that not
all behaviors are present for each section of the study. Tactile stimuli
include a clear plastic rod (“Clear” in variable name), a brush (“Brush” in
variable name), covering with a gloved hand (“Cover” in variable name) and
picking up with a gloved hand (“Pickup” in variable name).
