strike

Lana striking at a mouse off to the right you can see her two fangs that inject her potent hemotoxic venom into the blood stream. I set my camera to take several pics over and over in order to get this because in a blink of an eye these snakes will strike and recoil to stike again potentially at prey or a potential threat like a human. if you encounter these snakes in the wild DO NOT try to catch them it could cost you your life or permanent injury
