A resident in McLennan County, Texas, USA discovered a two-headed snake more than 20 cm long in his backyard and brought it to Cameron Zoo on September 16, UPI reported.
“Her dog spotted a rat snake, a water snake. It’s about 6–8 weeks old. We were surprised when she brought the snake to the zoo. In my many years of working here, I have never been here. We’ve never seen a two-headed animal. So we were very excited,” said Brian Henley, the zoo’s reptile and amphibian caretaker.
“The two-headed snake can be seen as a pair of conjoined twins. The staff here only feed it through one head and because the snake is small, we will monitor its every feeding,” Brian said.
Cameron Zoo also shared on Facebook a picture of staff preparing to bring the snake to the exhibition. They also plan to determine the sex of the snake and hold a contest to name both its heads.
