A Nightmare Come to Reality: Two-Headed Boa Constrictor
What’s scarier than one snake? One with two heads. A snake breeder in Florida found this unnatural-looking snake. It has two hearts in a single body, which is rare. The breeder was surprised when his boa constrictor gave birth to a snake with two heads.
The snakes each have their own digestive tracts – if there are two digestive tracts, we figure both heads need nutrition. It’s essentially two snakes, one body. Most snakes born like this die in just a few days because they don’t get adequate nutrition or share kidneys.
