Would it just be reflexes causing it to do that??

what the hell? no way that's real. if the spine is severed then there is no way it could move...

it sure can. People have been invenomated by just the head, those reflexes are still sparking for a very long time. The head has its own little entity lol

Back in 1971 I was in hospital for hernia and my room mate was same age as me who was bitten by a decapitated pygmy rattler

yep many many cases. Also many people get bitten by "dead" sharks on docks and beaches as well.

Scary stuff! Here's something that I "googled" http://books.google.ca/books?id=OvFxypZGPAAC&pg=PA16&lpg=PA16&dq=severed+snake+heads+biting&source=web&ots=QoX8fXjcUX&sig=DaLaFRkaLL2US6TfWgF4d6edS1g&hl=en&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=2&ct=result. This is from CNN " ... Even a severed head can still bite, reflexively ..."

yep, OK heres something else ( I DO NOT kill snakes) If someone had a newly severed snake head you could take a pen and slowly pass it by its eye and sometimes the pupil will follow it.
