Another "Hungry" Snake

I flipped the light on in the snake room and heard some commotion in one enclosure. I opened it up to see this. Sorry for the poor quality, I used my cell phone. I didn/t want to go look for the camera as I try and stop this before it gets out of control.

So how did this turn out? I am assuming this is a baby snake. I've never heard of an older snake trying to eat itself thinking its own body is another snake.

No, this is a 4 year old breeder.

Wow, I thought only babies did that. Is it a male or female? It must have been more hungry than expected to want to eat its own tail. Is it okay now?

She is just fine. I put a little listerine on my fingertip and touched her on t he top of the head and she just released herself.

Dogs usually don't catch it when they are chasing their tails , but it looks like kings do. Lol. Great pic.
