it won't live at all! is just not true !! Fact is they will live and they will bite. I cut a snake in half and then killed it the next day. I cut over 2 foot of it off and then the next day it out of its hole and back in the yard. If you want to make sure a snake is going to die cut the head off of the body. be careful it will still try to bite you and it can if you are not careful. For how long it will live I'm not really sure but I can tell you at least a day or more.

In fact it's true,my biology teacher once brought a snake into class then using a knife he cut a lower part of Its tail, surprisingly enough, it has survived then later on my biology teacher released it back in the wild.

No, it can't. When a snake is killed in that manner, it's body can continue to writhe and wiggle, but it isn't because the snake is still alive. It's the snake's nerves that cause the muscles to continue to twitch for a while after death. But even though the snake is dead, you should never put your hand, or any other part of your body near the mouth of the snake, since the venom is still active.

What is it call when a snake tail grows back after you cut it off?

It's impossible. Snake tails don't grow back. Only certain types of skinks can have their tails grown back. If the tail is chopped off too far up the spine, it will die. If just the tip of it is cut off, it might heal, but it will be painful and could get infected.
