With no mean to insault anyone, to catch a strike that occurs only 0.3 of the second, you need to put your Photo camera to shutter 1000. If like you were sayng it's a strike than the whole subject (snake) must be full of blur. I am a cameraman.

???? Since when do ball strike with closed mouths 100% of the time???? Wouldn't this mean they never bite? LOL

I dunno about your Balls but my Ball Python opens his mouth when he strikes, and usually a mouse ends up getting in there!

ya I'm not too sure how that would work or what purpose a strike would serve if the snake had it's mouth closed is it going to headbutt you?? (J/K)

Thats the first I ever heard they strike with mouths closed 100% of the time. I have been dealing with bp's for along time and have had my share of bites from them, and I am pretty sure there mouths where open at the time

Nice pic !

Trust me...I know that little guy. That is a strick!

He got me jumping a few times when I changed his diapers.

I know balls stike with their mouths open. I had a few hatchlings leave nice teeth imprints in my hand thsi year. Little buggers! They calm down soon enough though.

Feed that boy Matt! LOL!

How are the girls?
