Actually they are fairly fast, hmmmmmmm yes, fast. They are indeed situational. That is, they crawl very quickly. They move from spot to spot As fast as any colubrid at a crawling pace. There is one open spot they often cross that's about 60 feet wide and they do it in under 4 minutes. They also dash for bushes or holes.

But if discovered in the open, they go cryptic and freeze. They do not have that much patience, and soon give up and leave.

Its also temperature dependent, as when cool, freeze more, when hot, run more.
