Annual home range
We recorded a total of 383 observations for the ten snakes tracked from
May 2016 to June 2017. We found that male snakes had a mean annual home
range size of 26.02 ± 11.53 ha and a mean annual activity core size of
4.784 ± 1.54 ha (Table 2). We found that non-gravid female snakes had a
mean annual home range size of 30.89 ± 12.3 ha and a mean annual
activity core size of 6.90 ± 3.71 ha (Table 2).
Using two-sample t-tests, we found that there were no significant
differences between mean annual home range sizes (N=9;
t8,0.025 = 0.638, p = 0.541) (Fig. 4) nor activity core
sizes (t8,0.025 = 1.270; p = 0.240) (Fig. 5) of male and
non-gravid female snakes.
