J Exp Biol 210:3862-72. 2007..However, the slower speeds on horizontal perches compared to tunnels also suggest that balance and grip may further limit locomotor performance...
Arboreal habitat structure affects the performance and modes of locomotion of corn snakes (Elaphe guttata)Henry C Astley
Department of Biological Sciences, University of Cincinnati, Cincinnati, Ohio, USA
J Exp Zool A Ecol Genet Physiol 311:207-16. 2009..3-3.1-fold increases in speed, respectively. Thus, pegs considerably enhanced the locomotor performance of snakes, although similar structures such as secondary branches seem likely to impede the locomotion of limbed arboreal animals...
