Supplementary video 1: A small Thamnophis sirtalis exhibiting the head-wobble behavior as it moves through dry grass. Note the movement of the grass in the wind.

Supplementary video 2: An individual Opheodrys vernalis performing a head-wobble crossing a hiking trail. Individual was pursued by the author from a grassy area onto the trail.
