Only 20 secs needed for my Taylor cantil to kill this mouse.

Your feeding live?
cool snake

Thats pretty quick....... My gaboons and puffs have killed in just a few seconds........ Mostly because they usually punture lungs and hearts......... Doubt the venom acts that quickly........

[cantil]

do you find it awkward using a single hook to manipulate it? I've got three bilineata bilineata and none will sit on a hook long enough to move them let alone take a photo. I've never kept taylori so I was curious if they're more placid

Beautiful! I used to have a pair....I really miss them.
Cantil- They are crazy on the hook, but after a few months of practice to can learn to balance them on one hook.

think i'll stick with tongs and shift boxes for the forseable future myself, thanks for the info

Well, i've never kept bilineata bilineata :p...so i cannot compare.
But, she is pretty slow on the hook (when you know how fast Cantils are);)
I keep her 3 years (she is 4) in the room that i spent most of my time and she is pretty slow when she's moving around.
The 1st year she were sooo fast that...a lightnin looked like a turtle's movement:p
She goes a little crazy when i try to hold her tail, but again, nothing that much, just a quick short move.

I am not doubting you counted 20 seconds and the mouse died....... All I was saying is that the venom did not kill the mouse that fast........ It could have been a heart attack, punctured heart or lung........ But hey, dead is dead, right????? LOL Great looking snake by the way.......

Ok :D:p...
Sorry for the misunderstanding
