Ok everyone, I just though this was sooo sweet so i got to find something out.

I was just over my friend's house and he has a ball python also, but the question i was wondering is how fast does a bp strike??(for a defensive strike)
cause i mean it was as fast as mine moves to kill his prey. if any one knows like a sysetm of measurement i'd appreate it.

Ok here is why i m asking; I was chillen with my friends bp while he was doing something, and i guess i made it mad. I like bumped its head or something and it cocked back, ready to strike. and the way he cocked back my hand was in front of his face, so i slowly try to move it away and he strikes at it. Now i have been doing martial arts for a number of years, almost my whole life,so i have pretty fast hands, and what happened was amazing!! He striked at my hand and i was able to move my hand and place my thumb under his chin or whatever and caught him about a half inch from his head.

Now i wanted to know what this strike potentially slower or am i just really that fast?? Is it humanly possible to be that fast?? This was kinda a natural reaction, meaning i didnt have time to think about it.

So what U think???
(i personally think i m sweet anyway, LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL )
