Re: my ball just bit himself
Interesting this topic came up. About 2 weeks ago I was doing my daily check on all the kids and noticed one of my females had her mouth wrapped around her mid section. Like you described it appeared she had struck at herself. At first I was very concerned thinking she might have had something wrong. When I pulled her out she was twisting and spinning and going crazy. She had got her teeth stuck on her scales and therefore couldn't let go. I helped her get her jaws loose and put her back in her tub. I checked on her every hour for the rest of the day but she was fine and ate on her normal day.
She hadn't eaten (and no rats were in the room) for a couple of days before the incident so I don't know why she did it...but she seems fine and is her usual self now.
Strange.
Re: my ball just bit himself
My cat "fights" with her own tail... I see the psychology behind it as something like this:
"hey, what's that moving?? oh, grab it, grab it! bite it, bite it! OUCH! It bit me back! I'll show you ya little bugger! Bite, bite! OUCH!! It bit me AGAIN!!! Well I'll show you ya little bugger! Bite, bite! OUCH!!!"
This goes on for hours...

Mine actually bit herself and wrapped up then swallowed half her body before she realized her mistake! HA JK!!!
Re: my ball just bit himself
maybe it was one of those yawns gone wrong and its teeth just snagged its skin.
