It's even more impressive when they completely loose their cool, forget about their striking capabilities. When a Gab is pissed off it's incredible just how fast they can actually move (as I'm sure you know), it really annoys me when people say Gaboons are slow. Lazy is a better word.
Not to mention, when they flip out, they're can be difficult to deal with because of their strength. I've had the pleasure of seeing my female flip out about 5 times over the past year and half - she's a cranky one that's for sure, considering I've only had interaction with her maybe 20 times or so! A Gaboon keeper isn't a Gaboon keeper until they've truly witnessed a Gab at full flow!

Couldn't agree more. I'm always trying to explain to people that underestimating any of the large Bitis, although easy to do can be a fatal mistake. Trying to "convince" a large angry gaboon to do anything other then what it wants to is one of the most challenging and terrifying challenges a keeper of most any snake can face.
