    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

A couple of days ago, I noticed my clutch of albino Honduran milk snakes (L. t. hondurensis) was pipping. I brought the eggs in the house and put them on the dinner table so I could keep a closer eye on them. However, I have stayed so busy over the last couple of days that I must admit I hadn't paid too much attention to them. I finally decided to dig through the clutch to see how they were doing and was startled by an amazing sight.

A freshly hatched two-headed albino honduran milk snake!

Though the snake (s?) seem perfectly healthy, they can't always decide which way to go.

Lisa admired the newest "members" of our family.

Another look at our bicephalic (two-headed) albino Honduran milk snake. Twins were also produced out of one of the eggs of this clutch.

I talked to the previous owner of the female albino honduran milk snake that produced the two-headed baby. It turns out that she produced a two-headed baby and siamese twins, both of which died in the egg before hatching. After counting the eggs, I realized I got eight snakes out of seven eggs. In addition to the two-headed baby, I also got twins in one of the eggs. That is nine heads out of seven eggs. I am starting to suspect that this is genetic.:)
 
Beautiful baby(s). Very interesting genetics. And I'm glad I'm not the only one who watches eggs on the kitchen table!

That's awesome. Congrats!!!

I was lucky enough to be able to hold an adult 2-headed pine snake years ago.

Best of luck raising it. Post updates as it grows.
 
very cool, it looks nice and strong, hope it thrives for you! I'd be interested to know how it feeds (if one head is 'dolice' and let's the other do the work). Thank you for sharing!
