Ball Python Feeding in Slow Motion

[captainjack0000]

My wife recently got me a nice little pocket digicam, and it had a slow motion video capture option. I thought I would test it out and try and capture one of those signature snake strikes, but my python wasn't in the mood for showing off. Ah well maybe next time. Here is a clip though that shows the breathing tube pretty well. Because of the slow motion aspect there is no sound.

Also, I'm sorry if this should actually be in with the picures.

That's about how fast mine eat in regular motion

x2. Thats pretty close to regular motion for mine too. Get a strike shot next time so we can really see how much it slows down!

Yeah I'm still playing around with it. I think next time I'm going to try and use two cameras, one going at a regular 24 or 30fps and then this one, which shoots at 120 fps. If I did my math correctly, this should be about 1/4 or 1/5 the normal speed.

fps = frames per second
