Some of us were told when we were young that if a venomous snake were to bite it’s self the snake would die. Well, this is true. A coral snake that bites it’s own tail can and do die. Most of the time the snakes doesn’t release the bite. Other venomous snakes (pit vipers) will too, die if they bite themselves. Wow, what a thought. What if your dog had that ability? He’d only chase his tail once!
