<span>There is some truth to
this myth backed up by science explanation. A snake’s nervous system will still
be functional for approximately 10 to 12 hours after they are pronounced dead.
So probably that is where the myth or saying “a snake wont die til the sun goes

sun to set down, and the nervous system will be completely dysfunctional and
only will be then that the snake is truly dead. So the best way to ensure the
snake does not bite you or attack you is to kill it, cut off its head and bury
it so that its nervous system will be readily dysfunctional.</span>
