Can A Snake Commit Suicide? Snake is such a creature that everyone is afraid of, although all the species of snake found are not poisonous, but still people die of panic on its bite. Although some snakes are so poisonous that death occurs within minutes of their bite. But have you ever thought that what is the effect of the poison of the snake which everyone is afraid of? What happens when a snake bites itself?
Know what happened when a snake bit itself? The news is from the Australian newspaper Daily Mail. Matt Hagan is a professional snake catcher living in Cairns city of Australia. According to the report, he received a call from a woman living in Earville that there is a tree brown snake about 1.5 meters long outside her house. When Matt reached there, he saw that the snake had buried the lower part of its neck in its own mouth and it was dead. When it was examined to know the reason of death, they found that the snake died due to its own venom being injected into the body. It was also told in this report that if snakes bite themselves for a long time. By doing this, the poison reaches their digestive system and from there this poison reaches the brain through the blood and can lead to death.
Can snakes commit suicide?
A few years ago a video appeared in the media reports, in which a snake had committed suicide by banging its head on the road. This video was also uploaded on YouTube. This condition occurring in snakes is called Serepticides. This condition occurs due to mixing of ‘severants’ chemicals in the blood. This leads to stress and anger as a result of which the creature starts behaving very violently, may even commit suicide.
What do the experts say
Many biologists say that snake poison is ineffective on the snake itself, so it cannot commit suicide by biting itself. While some snake experts shared their experiences and said that snakes can choose the path of suicide if injured or disabled.
What happens if two snakes bite each other?
Knowing biology, it is said that if both the snakes are of the same species, then both will not be affected by the poison, but if the snakes are of different species, then the one with more venom can kill the one with less venom. The venom of a snake is stored in its venom gland. It has no contact with the circulation of poison in their blood. If snake venom is taken out and injected into its blood circulation, its effect will definitely be seen.
