Two headed rat snake

[Jrich]

So today I had the pleasure of feeding the two headed rat snake at my local conservation center. I fed the left head because it eats quicker and since they're facing the camera it now becomes the right head. Usually I would have to cover up the other head to keep it from biting the feeding head (because she'll reach on over and give the other one a good jab) but didn't seem to be the case today. This snake is pretty old, even though it would've never survived long out in the wild it is still pretty amazing. She also moves pretty slow with the whole I have two different minds and one body thing going on but man once they both lock eyes on the same prize, she....they....can really move. It gets confusing but enjoy!

So cool. I've never seen a 2 headed snake in person. If ever find one for sale I would scoop it up in a second!

Haha, seconded. Ben(well, more of his managers, now, due to the incident recently) has Medusa for sale at $50,000 OBO. I would so buy her if I had that kind of money, lol.

Ok at that price I'd have to hold off but would still be sooo cool. What actually causes this geneticly? Is it the eqivilent of a human having siamese twins? If you were to breed a 2 headed snake would you have an increased likelyhood of producing more 2 headers?
