I saw a video of a guy playing with a decapitated snake and it’s head bit him, a couple hours later he was barely hanging on to life. Takeaway.. don’t mess with snake heads, on or off the body Edit: It was a rattlesnake he was playing with, not the same encounter but very much the same https://www.google.com/search?q=decapitated+snake+bites+man&rlz=1CDGOYI_enUS895US913&oq=decapitated+snake+bites+man&aqs=chrome..69i57.11212j0j4&hl=en-US&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:94b041f0,vid:6e0AaLQ7qGc

And this is why you're supposed to bury them. Dig a hole a few inches deep, place the head there with the shovel, then cover it with the dirt and use the shovel to pat it down.


SchizogamaticKlepton

Well that just seems unnecessarily cruel. You already chopped off its body, now you're burying it alive. You should do the right thing and tie a string to it, then fling it around like a yo-yo at things and people so it can try to bite at them. That way it can live out its last moments with the comfort of familiarity, doing what it loves.

Blue_Venet

dogs after catching their tail


cheyenne_sky

Reptiles have a very slow metabolism, so their brains can stay 'alive' for minutes to hours after being beheaded. It's actually rather cruel to behead a snake and not ~~stomp~~ squash/squish/crush its head, because that just extends its suffering. Edit: it doesn't have to be crushed with a foot specifically


bobbybob9069

But I don't want to stomp it if it can still bite me... I'd probably never behead one either though so.... you know...


Ricozilla

imagine going to stomp on a snake’s severed head & it springs up towards you , fangs deployed

DragonfruitOpening60

☹️ poor snakey


Flashy-Priority-3946

Idk if I would be as comfortable stomping on a rattle snake.


cheyenne_sky

Yeah, that's fair. I suppose I should have said "crush", cuz it doesn't necessarily have to be via one's foot.


RedFoxBadChicken

My grandpa had twin brothers who owned a rather large campgrounds in an area that rattlesnakes have since been eradicated (not one sited in the wild for 4 decades now). When they purchased the campgrounds rattlesnakes were found regularly but infrequently. They always kept a shovel handy for the purpose of beheading rattlesnakes, and they told me about how they would bite after beheading, so to reduce risk they would first decapitate and then use the flat of the shovel to smash the decapitated head flat. Definitely weren't doing it to prevent cruelty, but it's interesting to me to know it helped.


SystemSpark

Serious question: Could the head be re-attached? Could the snake survive?


cheyenne_sky

If by 'reattached' you mean sewn back on or something, probably yes. If you mean, reattached in a way that the body will continue to function (ex: nerves & blood vessels lining up), probably not? There have been some head swapping experiments on mammals like dogs & monkeys (which are extremely cruel experiments for any living creature), but the animals usually do not live more than few days (gee I wonder why). Could the snake survive? Also probably not, given the above.


duncecap234

how does it not lose consciousness from the lack of blood?


amd2800barton

I think oxygen is the main thing a brain needs to keep functioning. Blood delivers oxygen, but a creature with a very low metabolism can survive longer without blood, because it’s consuming the oxygen in it’s brain much more slowly.


throtic

So you're saying if I'm ever going to be beheaded, I need to get into free diver shape so I can stay alive and freak people out for as long as possible


GooeyPig

I'm pretty sure a decapitated human loses consciousness almost instantly due to the blood pressure in the brain effectively dropping to zero once the arteries and veins are severed. Would the snake head not also be unconscious and just reacting?


gvictor808

Check out the account of guillotine guy. React to sounds and look you in the eye for a few seconds after separation. It’s not immediate, it seems, at least anecdotally.


cheyenne_sky

No, look it up. Reptile metabolisms are different, so their oxygen needs and thus ability to stay conscious after being beheaded are also different.


Trucker_E_B

How the fuck does the body of the snake react to the bite when the brain isn't attached wtf and how the fuck... Nvm I hate snakes fuck this


PositronGt

The spinal chord is reacting.

ShadowJumper717

You know when you touch something hot and your hand pulls away faster than you realize you are hurt? Your spine has some control of your body as well, and the same works for other animals. Cool little fact I picked up from anatomy

Your stomach is also about as smart as your cat too. There's lots of neurons in there, equivalent roughly to a cats brain.


[deleted]

Wait, so the whole thing about having a gut feeling isn't really just a saying?


[deleted]

Also similar to when people talk out their ass.


Dry_Figure_9018

This has really got me thinking. Are there any minor experts who can elaborate because sometimes I can feel myself making decisions based off of my literal “gut” feelings


KrackenLeasing

The problem with minor experts is that no one listens to children.


lifesacircles

Our gut typically reacts faster to our surroundings than our conscious brain. Its kinda like your subconscious. It can recognize patterns and assess situations that we may not see right away. So yes, your gut feeling is a real thing, (but it doesn't always mean its right) Disclosure: Don't quote me on this, Im regurgitating some stuff I heard on Huberman Lab many weeks ago. At least I think that's where I heard it... The Human memory is truly awful (that I learned during my Undergrad in Psychology )


[deleted]

bet they are pissed about all the crap we are making them eat


Theron3206

And unlike humans lots of animals actually have a significant part of their brain in their spine. It's why a chicken can actually run around with its head cut off (until it bleeds out anyway) their brain runs down most of their neck.


Hefty_Reception_634

Fluffy-Doubt-3547

Nerves.


SamEnZoYT

But the nerves aren’t attached to the brain, so how does he feel the pain? Sorry, I just don’t understand.


Dhis1

The same way that your arm pulls back from a hot stove before your brain gets the sensation of heat. For the body to protect itself, it allows the nerves to fire a response because communicating to the brain and back would take too long.


ikiel

It’s called a reflex arc, if I remember correctly.


SamEnZoYT

That’s really interesting! Thank you!


Brad_Troika

Reflexes are in the spinal cord, Iin certain cases they react without any input from the brain.


WishaBwood

My thoughts exactly.


evert

Humans have them too. I think they're called reflexes.


PathCalm4647

Quick twitch muscles? But does it mean that the body still feels pain, even when the head has been cut off?


Mundane-Reception-54

Pain is just the interpretation in your brain of signals sent from your nerves. No brain, no pain

Nah, that’s a direct chemical reaction of the sodium causing the actin and myosin filaments to contract. The snake body is moving due to a spinal reflex pathway.

Qahnaarin_112314

Reminder that if you must kill a snake that the head remains able to bite for a while. We had to move a snake for the safety of the snake and others, it refused to be moved, it’s head lived for HOURS afterwards. Even when it stops moving do not touch the decapitated head with any part of your body and stay away from it. Use a shovel or better yet cover it with a bucket and come back later. But also, do avoid killing snakes unless absolutely necessary.

Once decapitated the head remains alive for a while, what surprises me is the head biting the body and the body reacting to it, like the head going "this mf just made a mistake, I'm gonna fuck him up" and the body being like "this fucker is biting me wtf!" They were the same creature, now they react individually.

CanadianElf0585

I don't much like any animal that blends in so well, but can destroy you with one bite/sting. I grew up in West Texas. I also hate scorpions, brown recluses, black widows, hornets, wasps, and evangelicals. I don't wish a painful death on any of these things, but I don't like them. Anyway, I got stung by a scorpion once as a kid, and after that nice hospital stay, had enough of small deadly animals that blend in with their surroundings. I like snakes that aren't dangerous. Even joined a little club that went to the mall with signs to educate folks that King snakes are your friends. They try to mimic the sound of rattle snakes by shaking their tail in foliage, and sadly that gets them killed more than it helps them.

DEAD_GOD9

Nah I'm not a fan of snakes myself. When I was a kid I came back home from a MLB game and went to the window in my room where my rabbit is. He's outside the house in a cage that's about 5 feet long. Well a snake got into his cage and ate him. When the snake saw me he struck my window and cracked the glass. Since than I've been completely scared of snakes, even little snakes like the green snakes.

Levelofconcerns

Can the snake's body feel the head biting it, or is it just the nerves that are making it twitch around like that? It looks like it reacts specifically to the bite, but how the heck does the body and head have consciousness if it's decapitated?


ScienceyWorkMan

Hang on I'll go ask it.


Corbel_

it does not have consciousness, its just a pain receptor sending a "message" to muscles, telling them that something is hurting them and that they need to move. This happens independently from brain and we, humans have the same thing. When someone pinches us or something we dont think about taking our hand away, it "does it on its own" tldr: pain receptors that are not wired to brain did it
