RE: Biting snake

Two of my BHP hatchies have bitten themselves before, but only during feeding, so I put it down to them smelling the food item on themselves and becoming confused, but that doesn't sound like your case...

Is it biting roughly at the same place? After seeing a few roadkills biting around their wounds, it seems that sometimes snakes will react to pain by biting at it. If it's going the same spot over and over perhaps there's something about that site that's causing pain or irritation.
