Did you know that if a snake's head is cut off, it can stay alive and bite for up to an hour?

One particular summer day a couple of years ago I was mowing my back yard, which is fenced in. As i was just cruising along pushing the mower I suddenly noticed I was about to mow over a snake! I tried to stop, but it was too late. The mower cut off the snake's head, similar to what is in the video. The head and body were not moving at all and it looked quite dead to me. I continued mowing and 25 minutes later I finished and went back to dispose of the snake. The body was there, but the head was gone! It was a good 10 feet to the nearest fence, but somehow it must have got out. I looked around outside the fence, but never found the head. Creepy!!!
