This isn't something all hognose will do, but the strong feeders can be a handful to work with.

Personally, I don't believe that hog should have been given the chance to get that far along eating its tail. Someone should have intervened.
I could be wrong, as I'm just regurging some info I read elsewhere, but I thought they were intervening by putting him in the water bowl? That you cannot physically pull the snake from itself without damaging internal organs etc. Like I said, I could be totally wrong on that. Just thought it made sense when I read it.
