Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Family Cares for Two-Headed Snake
From the Slide Show below, the second head doesn't look much like a head; more like a messed up tail. I've never heard of a snake with two actual heads with one on each end of its body but there are a lot of things I've never heard of.
Family Cares for Two-Headed Snake
Quote:
Ware Shoals, SC (WHNS) — Finding a snake in your yard may be a little scary, but what about one with two heads?
A Greenwood County family is trying to figure out how this is possible, but they’ve been taking care of the little guy for weeks.
Savanna Logan and her brother, Preston, have been amazed by this two-headed snake and showing it off at school since workmen at their home found it three weeks ago.
A National Geographic article reports that two-headed snakes are rare but not unheard of. It said they’re formed like Siamese twins. Typically, two-headed snakes have two heads on one side, versus the one this family found, with one on each end.
Savanna Logan’s grandfather took the snake to the Ware Shoals High School biology department. Teachers told him this was a “rough earth” snake and not a baby. It was nothing they’d seen before, with two heads, two tongues and four eyes.
“One head’s bigger and one’s more dominant than the other, but they both seem to control the body, the main head will do one thing then the other part is trying to go the opposite direction,” said Savanna Logan’s mother, Tina Stewart.
Savanna’s grandfather has been taking care of the snake. He said he’s seen it multiple times, crawl one way, stop, then pick up the other head and crawl the other way.

wow, that's pretty interesting. Seeing a two headed snake with one heads on each end rather then right next to each other sure brings up a few questions. Thanks for sharing the post!

Looks more like that snake just barely escaped a lawn mower with it's life minus a tail. Or some 200 lb man fearing for his life and his families took a shovel and chopped off the wrong end.

If this is an adult, wouldn't it have died a long time ago? How does it poop? I saw the video of this and I can't discern a head on the tail side.
