Can snakes put themselves in a knot?
Without realising can snakes put themselves in a knot?

I'd be far more concerned with humans (children or ?) doing evil things TO them than with snakes doing this to themselves.
Just curious. Didn’t know if they’d be able to get out of it.

If that snake couldn’t get outta that, how could a person be able to do it without braking bones?

Agreed with the above statement!

I've kept various king snakes over the years & I once had a king snake (an albino Cal-king & by that time she was old, so maybe a bit senile?) that tried to eat her own tail.I kid you not (knot?)...;) The "knotted" L. g. brooksi in this video looks like she may have been having a similar "moment": she may have smelled prey on her from a prior meal, & tried to "catch it", only catching herself & refusing to let go. Had this been MY snake, I'd NOT have been trying to un-tie the snake -but hey, we're talking about Brian here, & making a show...:rolleyes: since pulling on a snake can injure it grievously. I'd have set this snake in a large bowl of shallow water (after a rinse off) where the "enticing aroma" that got her into this would have washed away, & she'd have loosed up on her own. Even at this point, she COULD have un-tied herself, but it's just that we're talking "king snake" here & they aren't always the brightest bulb in the forest. They can be extremely prey driven.
