Movie 2.
Corn snake in lateral view within a tunnel made of PVC boards showing two trials. In the first trial both prior to and while crossing the wedge (sloped at 8°) the corn snake performs concertina locomotion. Following this trial, prior to the wedge (sloped at 30°), the corn snake performs concertina locomotion and transitions to vertical undulations after encountering the wedge.
