that's because in this position, he can only reach an inch or two. Snakes need to be coiled in order to be able to strike with any real force or speed.
These guys also have the quickest strike, are venomous with possibly the largest amount of venom delivery, and have the longest fangs of all venomous snakes, like 2” long. They are generally docile, but if they DO strike, it’s very potentially fatal if not treated immediately.
