Can snakes eat themselves (self-cannibalize)?

Why are there any snakes in desert areas? It seems like they would've all eaten themselves by now.

Snake 🐍 is one of my favourite reptiles. My Top 4 favourite snakes are Boa Constrictor, Green Anaconda, Indian Cobra and Prairie Rattlesnake.

flowercat0523, this never happens in the wild ..only in extreme cases where high temps are outside of the normal zone for that area..this happens way more in captivity with false heat
