It's the “Body” sprite. It automatically goes to the snake head, and kills it.

when I receive [Post End v]
say (Signature)

but how do I make the Body clones make a trail behind the Head sprite?

Perhaps movig the head forward and sitting in its previous place a body segment.

Consider the stamp feature.

Try this. Make a list called something like ‘SnakePosX’, and ‘SnakePosY’, then this script in the body:

when gf clicked
delete [all v] of [SnakePosX v]
delete [all v] of [SnakePosY v]
forever
add ([x position v] of [head v]) to [SnakePosX v]
add ([y position v] of [head v]) to [SnakePosY v]
end

when gf clicked
hide
clear
go to x: (-240) y: (240)
set [counter v] to (0)
wait (3) secs
forever
change [counter v] by (1)
go to x: (item (counter) of [SnakePosX v]) y: (item (counter) of [SnakePosY v])
stamp
end

wake up::hat
do scratch::variables
and scratch::control
and scratch::operators
and scratch::motion

Here's what I did. The body was touching the head immediately and there's only 1 head. So I moved the touching test into the body and changed it to check for color of head. That wasn't enough though so I made it wait 1 or 2 seconds before testing if it touches the head. I disconnected some unnecessary stuff and things with how it used to go.

I made the body just clone itself and wait .01 seconds before cloning again. Then I also made the body go to head, show, wait 5 seconds then delete itself. Length of time here determines how long you want it to get unless you want it to always grow then don't delete any body segments. Think thats all i did. I also added a wait.05 sec before it stops all to give another script time to say ouch. Messy, I pushed a bunch to the side and was working with what was already there. Could be simplified and condensed I'm sure.

Don't have the body forever go to head. Then it'll always be under the head. Just go to the head when it's first made then it can stay in that spot until it delete itself.

This is how I did it
