Poor Snake(s). If this was someone’s pet, they may consider having one of the heads removed. Most of the body organs are far below the neck area. So the one remaining should be able to survive. That would likely be an expensive procedure, and the patient(s) may die. Since this is not a pet, nothing is likely to be done but study the survival habits of a conjoined serpent.

Double Trouble, for sure.

Supposedly, two-headed snakes in the wild are estimated to have a life expectancy of about a year. I remember seeing a two-headed King Snake at the San Diego Zoo many years ago. They named it Dudley Duplex. It lived about 6 years in captivity.

So when one head snatches a mouse and gulps it down. 10 minutes later is the other head feeling full? A Chinese Food joke in there somewhere.

LOL. I didn't write the headline.

In the article it says if one of the heads eats a mouse, and the other head smells it on the first head's breath, the head that wasn't fed will try to eat the other head. I'd like to see that. Kind of like Hillary versus Bernie.
