“Boas are non-venomous and even after all these years of dangling their ratsicles in front of them, I *still* involuntarily flinch a little when they hit the dead rat.
Why am I not being paid to state obvious things?”
You could have recorded your snakes strike with a high speed video camera and measured the speed and calculated the accelerations involved. Then you could have posted it on youtube and made money off of it.
In fact, as your snakes are not one of the species listed, you could still do so, show it as additional new reasearch (new species) and still get lots of hits.
Go for it.
Yes I could.
[would you please buy me a high speed camera? I’ll split the grant money with you]
