| ooohhh... quite fast. this always amazes me. the hunting mode, the analytic processing to find the perfect spot to get the back of the head. that takes a bit of time. but then WHAM! strike and coil in one second flat! |

they are very quick arent they?
I fed Echo today, first time in his new viv, had only just opened the viv glass dangled the rat and bang, it was so fast all i saw was him as he hit the rat, so he struck from probably three inches away... |

I think faster then 1 second! lol...
Couple days ago was my first time feeding a snake or watching it eat something live, instead of on tv, and it knocked me off my feet! All I had to say is WWWOOOWWW! Amazing, really! |
