Abstract
A free-ranging specimen of Crotalus durissus unicolor on Aruba Island was observed after striking rodent prey (Calomys hummelincki) and after no-strike presentations. Strike-induced chemosensory searching and trail following were seen after strikes. When a chemical trail was not present following a strike, the snake searched extensively near its refuge, but never emerged from it.
