Prairie rattlesnakes (Crotalus viridis) exhibited a sustained high rate of tongue flicking after a predatory strike whether or not rodent odors were present in the poststrike environment. For the lizard specialist, C. pricei, strike-induced chemosensory searching was maintained at a high level only when chemical cues were available following the strike.
