haha funny

I think something like this would happend:

Or..?

I'm so not sure about the "They move in a circle-theory".

The distance between the snakes increase, yes. But I think the snakes would keep moving innwards as the snake they were eating got smaller.

Imagine you have three snakes and but them all in a circle so that they just touch each other like this:
Snake one's mouth touches snake two's end, etc.

If they are to take a bite of each other they can't, because the distance will increase as everyone grows shorter. So imagine you just cut of a centimetre of each snake's tail.
They can no longer touch each other. But if you then move every snake a bit closer to the "centre", then they will once again be able to touch each other. If you keep on like that the circle will obviously become smaller.

...Or?

They wouldn't be able to swallow one another if they all have a good enough grip.

They couldn't move forward.

Hmm.. Couldn't they move forward, Frank? Explain.
My theory is that there will be an unchanging circle..

Other opinions? :)

I think if they all moved at the same pace in a very sunny location, they would just move out of the others mouth until one needs to soak up some sun.

What the shit is this fuck?

That is REALLY confusing.

Um, maybe when all the snakes move in for the last bite, they all move out of the way of their impending death and miss their bite?

I don't know, man! D:

It really is! It gives me headache.

Although you're saying not to think of the snakes actually dying from eating each other or how digestion works I can't help but think. If the first snake was eating the second snake and so on, I would think that (If they couldn't die) they would stay at the same size as they are eating each other at the same speed and as their tail gets eaten off they've eaten the snake in front of thems tail and so stay the same size.

Agreed.
The fact that snakes gulp things whole means that they will simply follow eachother in a circle.

Since, when e.g. the first snakes is moving forwards for biting the snake in front of him, he moves away from the snake behind him, and that does every snake at the same time...

You can apply this to if you shoved your head up your ass and kept going up and up would you come out your mouth. Obviously u need your imagination to avoid tht you could stretch and not get stuck in your small intestine but its still strange.

The snakes stomach is able to hold things much larger than itself, but being that for this paradox to happen the snakes body would have to coil into the stomach to fit (which it would not). Also snakes will ALWAYS kill their prey before they eat it so this can't happen.

Paradox avoided.

no, non, no,
whaqt they would do is continue to shrink, until the length of one snake got to the legth of another, making a small circle of 3 snake heads with another head poping out of its mouth... lmore like a triangel.

If the heads of the snakes were lunging towards the other heads, then none of the snakes would die, they'd just lunge at each others heads in a circle, forever. Yay.

How is it possible that they'll continue to shrink, when every snake is moving in the same tempo? ;)
