I know you are being facetious, but seriously...that is beyond the reflex speed of any human. Gaboons and puffs strike that fast, you just hope that they miss. Because the strike is over and they are back into position to strike again before you know the first one happened.

Hell, and I think my constrictors are fast.... I would never want to be in striking distance of any hot.

Yup I trained in Drunken Monkey kung fu.

In all seriousness though, I could evade the strike of any viper anyday. I move as fast as lightning.

That's about 18 1/2 MPH. I was curious and did the math. :)

It would be crazy impressive if it could hit you from 27 feet away

For comparison, North America's Eastern Diamondback is about 9 feet per second. I don't care how good your ninja skills are, if you are within range...you are toast.
