Steve, I have a wild caught female who has been in captivity for almost five years now. She will start playing dead if I spend too much time in her enclosure, cleaning, moving things around, etc. Most of the time she stops after a few seconds... doesn't even make it all the way upside down like the snakes in those videos. From my personal experience with her, they can stop whenever they want.
