Hi Mike –

The snakes biting themselves was not the cause of death, but merely part of the process of their dying. It is quite common when a snake is very near death for it to thrash around with its mouth open and either bite into a coil, or perhaps just snag its teeth on its own body.

I regret that no one here can determine the cause of those two deaths just from what you’ve told us.
