GHOST LITTER BORN TODAY WITH A TWO HEADED SNAKE !!!!!

new ghost litter born today and with a baby two headed snake!!!! Well this litter was born this morning just before I went to work. When I finally got home and hade a chance to take a good look at them to my surprise a two headed snake!!! He looks a little premature and I don’t think he’s going to make it but the rest of the litter looks good and no slugs at all wow. Here ate a few pics let me know what you think thanks Mario

Great looking litter and crazy little guy! That IS a lot of yolk and a thick umbilical on him, but maybe if you tie it off he'll have a slight chance? Hopefully someone chimes in on that, but the other option is to let him absorb it and then work on preventing the hardening of it within him. I am not sure if he'd make it either way, but thought I'd throw it out there. Some folks would cull him now, but.... I am not sure I would do so myself, as long as his quality of life isn't diminished in any way.
Good luck!

I just can't picture how this one is going to eat, since the prey will have to make a right angle turn to get down.


Looks like you have some nice ones in there. That ghost with the thin saddles is pretty nice looking.

Good luck with them.

Again we pick the same ones. Guess you're right Rick great minds do think a like!!

Mario, Rick is right, I don't see how that snake could ever constrict properly, however, that being said, the freaky side of me says keep and see what happens. Glad it's not me making those decisions.

I agree with Rick and Laura, that thin saddled ghost is sweet!! Congratulations on a nice looking litter.

I had a boa born once that had a serious kink in it's neck, right behind the head. It's as bad a turn as this one has and he's doing fine. When he constricts you'd swear his neck is broken but it's not. When he swallows he straightens it out quite a bit. I say give it a shot. I did see a program on TV last week with some 2 headed snakes. They were eating well. Good luck and congrats on an awesome litter.

Two headed, or conjoined heads like this one?

I reckon anythings possible though. I been wrong plenty of times.

Yeah, the ones I saw had 2 separate heads, connected at the neck. I see what you mean.

May have internal abnormalities too?
