    Ahhhhh, so you pass rumors wholesale as well.

    VERY interesting.

    Okay, now you're turning into a troll with some sort of vendetta.

    There wouldn't be any point in my posting citations anyway. If the citations do not agree with what you think, then you ignore them, just like you ignored every, single citation I included in the other thread.

    Also, you sure seemed eager to listen to the person who said "there is no law against freezing" rather readily (without any supporting evidence, I might add).

    VERY interesting, indeed.

    Yes, being mad at me for busting you lying and spreading unfounded rumors is just the right thing to do to establish your credibility.

    Interesting that you think so, quite interesting. Foolish, stupid even, but interesting.

    Hi,

    Can I ask you to keep the tangential squabbling in one thread if you can't drop it please? Even better idea take it to PM's or off the site alltogether.

    Either way can you please not drag it all over the forums into multiple threads? :please:

    If you feel the need to make a thread in the quarantine room where you can discuss it ( politely please ) feel free to do so.

    Feel free to do so.

    But prepare for disappointment.

    Another Update
    So far, both babies are still doing fine! They've decided to name them (despite that the Desert Museum doesn't often name their animals) Romulus and Remus. Sounds perfect for them!

    Whether or not they'll both thrive depends on if they can be coaxed into eating in the next couple weeks. If so, then they should both make a full recovery!

    The museum is going to keep the snakes at their facility then?

    Interesting story. I cannot remember the specifics, but there was the corn pair that was connected about 3/4 down the length of their body awhile back.

    Re: Two headed Rattlesnake
    Yep! Once they've fully recovered, they'll probably go on display.

    So the corns had two heads but 3/4 of their body was the same? Weird. I'm used to seeing two-headed snakes only (i.e. the heads are joined either at the head or the neck, not down the body a ways). I think the problem with two-headed snakes is keeping one head from trying to eat the other.

    Re: Two headed Rattlesnake
    Sadly, I just got news yesterday that the less-dominant baby passed away. He was necropsied, and it turns out both babies shared the same yolk, but the dominant baby got almost all of the yolk. The vet was tube-feeding them, but I guess it was too little too late. :(
