Didn't take time to watch the video - may later, when I have more time - but it looks more like a Russel's viper to me . . . Which may affect your caging requirements when you get one.
Cool snake thou!

Looks like a viper to me too, and therefore the hands in that video were being very foolish, and were very lucky not to get tagged. I wonder if there's a followup "oops, we misidentified this snake, please leave them alone if you find them" video.

Arent Russel's one of the deadliest snakes in India? You would think they would know not to mess with it...

I'll be darned, it is a Russel's. Their fingers will not last long if they keep that up. lol
Cute little thing, though. It doesn't look overly healthy, I think poor muscle tone is suggested there.

Ur right it does say that its a python but obviously its not. Just the shape of the head should have given it away. Definitely a Russel's viper.

I wonder if they'll bite each other and die. Just a thought. Pretty little one though.

Re: Two headed python
I kept looking at that thinking "that does not look like a python head" and "I haven't ever seen that pattern on a python" Still really cool though, even if it is a birth defect

Re: Two headed python
Wow...that is so cool looking....amazing. Scary that it is a viper and they are justing petting away. It looked a couple of times like it was NOT happy with the touchy touchy thing.

Re: Two headed python
I would say the handler knows it's not a python. Look at the way he approaches the snake, always from behind the heads. I think someone found a video and claimed it for himself.
