Slow? They might not be able to run one down, but yeesh... like Jason said... if it doesn't see the snake it doesn't have a chance... I don't think I will ever get over how fast snakes are

Very true. Almost everytime I feed my balls they surprise me. They seem like such slow animals but then.... BANG! They've grabbed and started to constrict the prey before you even have a chance to blink. Gotta love it

No, they are predators. It seems incredible how they can catch a deer, and how they can swallow it. But, believe me, they can.
Every python can be very fast when attack. If you see the picture I put, you'll see there are high grass... a great place for ambush, donīt you think so?.

Snakes are amazingly fast. When i film one striking with the video camera it only covers one frame. Our camera does 25 frames per second, so that means the snake struck in one 25th of a second. They may not have the stamina for long distance running like a gazzelle, but they are unmatched for a short burst.

I belive that large pythons are faster then some of us would like them to be when it comes to feading time. (hehehe) like I alwase say count your fingers before and after feading time.
But that is the gratest thing about nature and one of the reasons why we keep these wonderful animals.
