    My understanding was that the Death Adder or the Puff Adder had the fastest strike in the world. This is only a relative term though. You must consider that the Adders are not very large snakes and their strike zone is relatively short. This does NOT mean you can get close to them. But snakes such as the Cobra or the Taipans are much larger snakes and can strike much further.

    Rule of thumb....The distance between the snakes head and its first full coil is the distance you must space yourself between the snake. Venemous snakes are very rare here and I dont usually worry about this rule. Since the snakes I have run across here in Ohio are non-venemous, I usually get as close as possible. My nerves havent caved yet though, when I look TTL, I always jump back when they strike.

    Photography is more than just taking a picture and freezing the action, or leaving the shutter open. It is more than orchestrating the image with the stroke of a brush. Its the realization and explanation that reality is an isolated experience in which only a specific individual can comprehend during any given time period. - Your Truly!
