Strange snake behavior

[ninja_vs_python]

It might be trying to court itself. I read a paper about; a captive colletts snake was found exhibiting the same behaviour as if chasing its tail. The adjacent cages contained 3 inland taipans and 3 BHP's, both containing reproductive females.The hypothesis was basically that the colletts snake was getting excited over the scents in the air and tried to mate with the first thing it found.... itself. lol.
but who knows...

I'd go with the scent theory, have a look at the head, it never moves further than 1 spot either side of the main one that it is on, and side to side of that spot... thats just my idea but i'm probably wrong
