Hognose tries to eat itself.

But how would you intervene? Grab the hog's head and tail and try to separate?

Firstly, handling the snake would be a simple start. You'd need to be gentle and carefully support the snake to make sure it doesn't hurt itself internally while prodding around its face and head to try and harass it out of the feeding response and hopefully lead to it regurging its tail. If that is not working, the next step is vodka, gin, etc. poured around the mouth or a small amount injected into the mouth area via syringe. If that is not deterring the snake, at that point you should carefully attempt to keep the mouth open (I'd use feeding tongs) and slowly work the tail out. That alone should cause the snake to take over and start regurging on its own, and hopefully you do as little of the work as possible.

Not to say that is the right way to do it, but that is how I would do it given my experience.
