2-headed albino snake born in Central Fla.
2-headed albino snake born in Central Fla.



University of Central Florida field biologist Daniel Parker said the egg was laid by an albino Honduran milk snake a few months ago, and he was shocked by what he found when he looked through the moss in the incubation container last week.

“I did a double take,” said Parker. “I couldn’t believe what I was looking at.”

According to a news release, Parker said most two-headed snakes have typical coloration, making the albino two-headed snake extremely rare.

“This might be the most beautiful two-headed snake that has ever existed,” Parker said.

1. That is cool. I wonder if two headed snakes have an advantage in terms of
feeding?

2. I believe their only evolutionary advantage is in running for southern Governorships.

The only advantage of being a 2-headed snake that is.

3. Don't make the mistake of confusing a two-headed snake ...




... with a dickhead snake.
