As far as I can remember, and if the creature the Sphinx is based on is taken into account, the snake seems to be able to move and attack without the Sphinx seemingly telling it what to do. So I therefore think its not that streched to think that, to a certain degree, the snake tail has some indepedence to a certain degree.

That being said, we also don't know for sure if the snake has NO indepedent thought at all. So honestly, if I'm speculating, the same would go for you. I just think it seems more likely that if a creature has two heads, they both have a degree of indepedence from one another.
