Two heads are better then one, I guess...

In all the thousands of corn snakes I have produced over the years, this is the first time I have ever had a two headed snake hatch out. A two headed Blood Red corn. Both heads are alert and active, flicking their tongues, and the left head actually tried to bite me when I was trying to maneuver it around for a better shot with the camera.

Interesting..........

Wow!
Cool!
It even looks healthy! And sounds like a little spitfire! Hope it thrives for you!

I always like to see pics of bicepahalics. A little weird I know but I cannot help it

Very cool Rich! You'd better give that one to your wife to take care of so it gets extra special attention!

Wow, that's cool Rich. Is it for sale? I'd love to have it!

AWESOME! It's a gorgeous specimen! Good luck with it! I hope it thrives for you!

I've seen one of those pickled in a jar. But to see a live one would be a treat. Does the twin headedness affect lifespan, eating or anything else? or do they live happily as normal corns?

That is Awesome Rich! I would love to have one of those! Mother nature does like her little jokes

I'm afraid that you all know as much about two headed snakes as I do. I have no idea about this. What do I do if both heads grab the same pinky mouse? Will that snake ever be able to shed properly? If it does survive and has the typical feed response of the other Blood Reds around here this thing will be hell on wheels when it launches itself out of it's cage at you. No way you could ever hold it without at least one of the heads latching onto your thumb.

I said that I had never produced one before, but I didn't really have any desire to do so either. It's interesting, but what the heck do you DO with it?

Probably with a two headed snake, you could either keep it sell it or donate it to a zoo. I am sure there are some collectors out there that would pay top dollar for such a snake. A zoo would definitely love to have that snake I am sure. Just to bring in more people to the zoo. Those would be the three possibilities that I see.
