Two-Headed Turtle Goes on Display in Pa.

A pet store has bought a two-headed turtle from a collector and plans to keep it on display, the store manager said. The 2-month-old turtle, actually conjoined red-eared slider twins, fits on a silver dollar.

It has two heads sticking out from opposite ends of its shell, along with a pair of front feet on each side. But there is just one set of back feet and one tail.

The turtle is apparently healthy, and the species can live 15 to 20 years, said Jay Jacoby, manager of Big Al's Aquarium Supercenter in East Norriton. The turtle has not yet been named.

The store would not disclose how much it paid.

The same exotic-turtle collector sold another Big Al's store a conjoined-twin turtle about 20 years ago, Jacoby said. The man lives in Florida, but he declined to identify him.

I used to catch and keep dozens of red-eared sliders as a kid. Mom’s tupperware always came in handy.

"Bill and Larry....I don't get it"

"Billlarry = Billary, the two-faced Pretenders to the Crown.

Well, it wasn't a good pun if I had to explain it. I'm pulling my head back into my shell.......

(......"shell", get it?)

LOL
