Rare Two-Headed Snake Found

March 30, 2008 - 14,703 views

A rare two-headed snake was found by a farmer in a village in Alicante. The snake with four eyes, two tongues and two sets of eyes is not studied by Spanish scientists. According to preliminary studies, the snake can use both of its heads at the same time. Further down the line, they are trying to see if the snake has two separate digestive tracts and if a head dominates the other.

Scientists say the snake is lucky to have survived the wild. Other two-headed snakes have been found in Honduras, the United States, Sri Lanka and Argentina. Thelma, one of these snakes, is held at the San Diego Zoo on the US west coast.

    I assure you it’s real. It’s as real as the 5 footed lamb or the two headed goat. It’s like asking if Siamese twin humans are real. This snake isn’t a species, it’s a mutation. The species is a California King Snake, it looks like, and these guys aren’t venomous. King snakes are a bit aggressive, but the two heads would probably make it less effective at biting you, so I honestly don’t understand your fear. I feel a bit sorry for the guy, but I’m glad it’s lived this long in the wild. There have been other instances with two headed snakes, or snakes with two mouths and three eyes, or snakes born without one or two eyes and such. Usually they’re an unfortunate result of inbreeding from collectors.

    by the way, the second to last picture is adorable!
