The behavior of the garter snake to avoid dangerous or unpalatable prey is a learned behavior. It has learned through experience which prey to avoid in order to survive. Imprinting is a rapid learning process that occurs soon after birth or hatching, sexual selection is a process of natural selection that operates on characteristics that influence mating success, triggering stimulus refers to a specific signal or cue that elicits a particular behavior, and habituation is the process of becoming less responsive to a repeated stimulus over time.
