It is said that the snake is dangerous even if it is dead, and the horrifying video of a headless serpent is proof of it.
In the clip, a copperhead snake can be seen decapitated (for unknown reasons), and its body still has life. The snake's body moves near its decapitated head and brushes it. Suddenly, the reptile's head gets triggered into attack mode and bites its body, presumably mistaking it for its attacker. The decapitated head can be seen opening its mouth and biting its own body while not even attached. The body convulses after the bite, and the video ends.

Here are some interesting videos.
Did it feels pain when it bites itself? Or it is like the body feels pain, but not the head?

How do you trust something, alive, that bites itself, repeatedly, after it is pronounced dead?
