    it'd be awesome to see one.. though it'd (they'd?) probably have a heck of a time acclimating to life...

    Re: 2 headed ball python

    I know I've seen one. I'll try to bring up a picture.

    Yes, Ralph Davis ran into this but it was dead in the egg. http://www.ralphdavisreptiles.com/im.../twohead_2.jpg

    The San Diego Zoo had a two headed corn snake that produced 15 normal(not two headed or anything) offspring. So there have been other two headed snakes that have been able to live healthy lives.

    I've got a friend who hatched out a two headed bearded dragon. The little guy lived for over a week. She's got some pretty cool pics of it, I think they were once published in reptiles magazine.

    Re: 2 headed ball python

    i don't think a two-headed snake is something i'd like to see. i've seen two-headed turtle collectors and i thought it was horrible!

    Well, it's not like it's been done on purpose. Two headed animals are the result of incomplete splitting of the embryo. If it's a complete split, they're identical twins, if it's incomplete, they're siamese twins. A lot of them don't live, but I figure if they do, more power to them.

    Re: 2 headed ball python

    the collecters i met BREED them with this trait. if they happen to hatch a one-headed turtle, they release it into the wild. one had a tank with at least 40 of them in it! i definitely understand that things happen in nature but... that just really rubbed me the wrong way!
