2-headed snake
From the Telegraph…
A python with two heads seen in Villingen-Schwenningen, Germany. The animal is around one year old and approximately 50cm long. The snake is the second python known to be born with two heads, according to snake breeder Stefan Broghammer.

so is one the main head and the other just tags along or are they equal in both essence and role?
This is not okay with me!

Twice bitten! EW- KILLITKILLITRIGHTNOW!!!
It’s obviously conjoined twins. Nothing supernatural here (for those of you in the “kill it now” school of thought),just an incomplete fission of the embryo. I assume that one head is “dominant” to a certain degree; the dominant head being capable of exerting more than 50% of the control over muscles and bodily functions. Typically, in “two-headed” human conjoined twins, one twin gets the lion’s share of nutrition and enjoys superior control over shared body parts.
WHATEVER-KILLITKILLITNOW!!!
Well- evidently some people have a visceral reaction to scaly things, and some don’t.
Personally, I find oddities of nature like that both fascinating (how does it work), and disturbing (how much does that hinder its’ function), aka snakes are really cool :D
It’s a testimate to how amazing animals are and how extreme their ability to adapt is. It’s insulting to feel the need to kill it just because it’s different, it is a miracle of nature just like every animal and should be treated with respect.
Some people just can’t handle the oddness of nature… pussies.
Small python. Wonder how long this little guy(s) lived? This doesn’t freak me out, but if it was 15 feet long, I’d curl up and cry.
