Puff adders can strike with remarkable speed (faster than we can blink!), so it helps to slow down the action to see what's really going on. When hunting larger prey, like a rodent, puff adders will strike, envenomate and release their target in less than a second. A speedy attack means less chance of the prey fighting back and potentially injuring the snake. A potent cytotoxic venom gets to work quickly destroying cells and ultimately killing the prey. Of course, it's not instant, so puff adder

How Fast Can a Puff Adder Strike?​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Puff adders are incredibly fast, striking at 2.6 m/sec. They can strike and return to their original position in the blink of an eye! This lightning-fast speed makes them one of the most dangerous snakes in Africa. Many snake handlers get bitten by puff adders because they become too relaxed and complacent, mistaking their slow movements for harmlessness. But always remember, they can strike with incredible speed when they need to. This Snake bi

Puff Adders can move in many different ways. When in a hurry to get away they will sidewind, otherwise they will just use the caterpillar movement. Instead of killing them when found in a yard, you can call a snake catcher or sweep it into a bucket if no catchers are available. You should never place your hands or feet near a Puff adder as they can strike 1/40th of a second and don't miss often. | African Reptiles and Venom

“The Puff Adder is widespread over much of southern Africa and further north into Africa. It is a heavy-bodied snake that relies on its excellent camouflage and is reluctant to move. Much of its life is spent in camouflage mode and recent research has shown that when hiding, the Puff Adder will not hiss or strike when approached, as this would give away its presence. It is an ambush hunter that will coil up into a striking position and await its prey. This can last several days or even weeks. To
