    The head would share an edge with the arse (supposing the arse is on the first bend from the tail).

    Your snake has two heads.

    Also, one of them shares an edge with the tail.

  Unless your snake is an ouroboros, I don’t think folks will count the head and tail as consecutive

    The head and tail aren’t adjacent if you only look at my blue line and not the original. But my attempt fails due to the far left edge.
