They not always so accurate. This Gaboon Viper missed and hit the dirt with her fangs. She is trying to clear the debris in her fang sheaths now. So this didn't cause any harm and she ate her food just fine. Interesting to see how sensitive they are when taking into consideration this is slow motion. #gaboonviper #snakefeeding #slowmotion #bitisrhinoceros #snake | Reptile Garden
