A snake with two heads has been spotted in the Netherlands.
A slithery reptile suffering with the condition polycephaly, which sees animals and humans conjoin, has been discovered by wildlife photographer Matthijs Kuijpers in Amsterdam, the Daily Star Online has reported.
And the male - who has previously kept and bred his own snakes when she was a child - has admitted it was the "first ever" time he has seen a two-headed animal.
Speaking about the discovery, he said: "I photograph wildlife all over the world and this is the first ever live two-headed snake I have photographed.
"People find it crazy as well. Kids especially love them.
"The two heads are a mistake of nature, known as polycephaly."
But Matthijs has revealed due to the creatures disease they will sometimes fight over the same prey.
He explained: "Both heads fee sometimes they even fight for the same prey.
"They only get in a dispute when there is food involved and on all other occasions they seem to get along pretty well."
It’s been named Hillary and Huma.....
Plenty of them can be found in the U.S. Congress...on both sides of the aisle.
How do they handle a difference of opinion?
My team lead, who lives in Drake, Co., was stopped by a flagman this morning who pointed over to the side of the road. He said there was a black Fox with a white-tipped tail. I told him of the ancient Native-American prophecy that says “when the Black Fox returns, the White man is screwed”.
I’m not sure this is so unusual. There used to be a living one in the San Francisco aquarium.
Hehe
“...sees animals and humans conjoin...”

Wow... we haven’t seen the like of this since the days of Greek mythology.
Of course, I guess it could just be another example of today’s bad writing — but that’s not as much fun.
Escaped from Hillary Clinton's State Department
They pop up occasionally in my snake forums but in the wild probably not so much.
Eating is an issue without human help.
It’s names are Jeff and Sessions.
How would they behave differently if they did not get along? Their heads are too close for one of them to bite the other.
forks in the road are to be avoided
Reptile botched twins are actually common. They just don’t live long enough to be discovered cuz ‘mouseden! new litter! and other head ‘no, tadpoles! Seafood run!’
That is not the only example of pathetic writing to be found in that story.
A couple months after we moved to TN, I saw a large, longish bug walking across the living room carpet. It had a head on both ends of the body. (Ewwww!) I put a pot over it until my husband got home from work so HE could deal with it.
Not sure what its problem was, but we were only about a mile down the river from Oak Ridge National Lab — where much of the Manhattan Project was worked. That could’ve had something to do with it, I guess.
