Going through some old photos and came across this one! I was fishing on the Missouri River a few years ago and found this snake on the bank. It baffles me to think that this snake tried to consume itself. The snake was already dead when I found him. Thoughts?

I know that dog's chase their tail, could this be the same premise?
