Although most humans can travel at a greater speed than snakes, these reptiles can strike in a split second, before their prey has a chance to react or even know what is going on. Whether or not a snake is faster than a person depends on a few different factors though, including the person and snake in question.
Sea snakes for example, tend to move faster than land snakes, because their natural habitat is in the water. In general though, most terrestrial snakes do not have the same level of speed and stamina which most human beings possess, making them inferior in this sense.
Snakes are faster than humans. The can bite to. They use a liquid called venom to kill you.
