    I can’t believe after millions of years of evolution snakes still eat themselves.

      Well, if the snake manages to reproduce, then eats itself, the genes for eating yourself after reproduction get passed on.

      TLDR: you actions have a must smaller effect on evolution after you have reproduced successfully.

        Thanks for the tldr, your first sentance was rather cumbersome.
