I got a longer stick and took it out to the curb. All the dogs that went by wanted to sniff it but even they were afraid. LOL

2017 - Snakes are cold blooded animals unlike humans which means their brain needs much less oxygen to survive. So when a snake is killed or say decapitated, its brain can live for much longer time than humans or other warm blooded animals. That causes the head and sometimes the body muscles to move even after death. When googled.
