G'day mate,
Do the lumps correspond with the bite site? Why did it bite itself...did it miss a food item, was it trying to bite you and bit itself, or was there no outside stimulus? As Barry said, they will bite themselves if they feel pain in a certain area.
On the Gold Coast, you will need to work at keeping it cool rather than keeping it warm. Always try and keep ambient well under 30 degrees. I have seen many Tiger Snakes bite themselves and none have ever shown any symptoms.
