2 tailed corn snake...*PIC*

[Clint Boyer]

I just had this snake hatch from my Butter X Motley het Butter clutch.
Sorry for the poor pic quality, it's the best I can do for the moment.

Any input?

Can the baby move on its own? does it act in pain? Think it could be removed?

Sorry about the baby Clint

I would put it out of its pain if it is in pain

I would say that is really weird. Too bad it didn't become two snakes instead........try and put it out.....if it's acting weird or seems to be in a lot of pain....
poor guy....

if it's healthy.....I wonder what would happen if one end of the tail is a male and the other tail is a female.....breed itself?
Just wondering.....not trying to be mean here....

 

[kenster]

wow, now that is different! I will agree with everyone else here and say if it is in pain you have to end it's suffering.

 

[reaper]

weird agree with the rest if its in pain do something about it.

 

[B-J@y]

EEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeehhhhhhhh

god acts in weird way's... huh! just call this a mistake of him! if he is in pain..... well the others also told what you could do!

It still is weird!

 

[Bish]

I would agree with the rest!!!But it does look painful!!!!!!!!!!

Wow, what a weirdlooking snake (no offence!)
Saw one with two haeds on a picture a couple of days ago, but this one is even weirder. Liked the idea of it breeding with itself (sorry about the "it"). Maybe it would result in a snake with 4 tails?
But, make sure he/she's not in any pain. If it's not, I would love to se pics of it getting older/bigger

I agree with the above, make sure it is not in any pain, take it to a vet and see if they can remove one of them.

 

[Clint Boyer]

I don't know if it's in pain

I don't want it to suffer. If it appeares to be in distress I will put it down.

I think I'll give it a chance to see how it does.

It tries to crawl and can pull it's self along but it appears to struggle alot. I've never dealt with this situation before but I will try to do what's best for the snake.

Good luck Clint Keep us informed ok. I cant get that picture out of my mind. Reminds me of levithen.

Hey Clint,
Sorry about the little guy. If he is not in pain are you going to keep him. I would. Nature is very strange, I know that in the wild he probably would not make it but in captivity we can care for him and give him a good life. If he is not in pain.
Good luck, let us know what happens.
Jimmy C.
We know you will do whats best for the little guy.

It is not alone in the world

Breeding itself...

I don't think "Siamese twins" are fraternal twins, I think they're always identical twins, meaning they would both be the same gender.

I don't envy you Clint. It's tough to make either decision. Best of luck to both of you.

 

[Jr Nimeskern]

All I can say is wow...

 

[Celeste]

that is really odd. i beg u to try all the options before putting him down...ask if they can hav one of his tails removed. if not...well...im sorry for him

 

[CornsnakeKeeper]

Who posted this? Clint or Dr. Frankenstein? LOL...
That would be one horrible decision for me to make...(hard decision)

 

[Clint Boyer]

I have decided...

I decided to give it a chance at survival. If it can eat and deficate it may live. It has some pretty severe kinks so it's hard to say.
I have seen quite a few pics of 2 headed snakes but never a 2 tailed snake.
Only time will tell.

 

[QuesarVII]

Hello. I found this old thread and am wondering how your snake made out? Is it still alive? I hope it is doing OK.

 

[Clint Boyer]

It didn't make it....

The poor little guy actually split open right at the junction of the tails. It didn't appear to have a chance of surviving, I had to put it down.
