They are indigenous to the person's home, so they will be released into the wild in a prime habitat area.

3 born with two heads? Isn't that extremely rare to even have one two headed snake in dozens of liters?

Yes that is rare, 2 were born dead and the third was put down because it had no lower jaws.

The real rare ones are the 2 headed snakes that live.

I saw this earlier somewhere and wondered if you had saw it yet. Then I realized what forum it was on and thought you'd already seen it lol Took you long enough to post it here :p lol :D

That's still amazing to see an animal produce that many offspring!
