×if a snake is travelling away from you and you are in line with the head, it will continue to travel away from you until it hits a wall.

×also, if a snake is travelling horizontally (say E) and you step diagonally behind its head, it will travel away from you
it won't die completely, but it will get one square shorter. repeat until the snake is dead.
