DFO’s Critters: 2-Headed Milk Snake
A two-headed albino Honduran milk snake is shown in Ridge Manor, Fla. Daniel Parker, a University of Central Florida biologist, says that most two-headed snakes have typical coloration. Albino snakes don't have dark pigmentation in their skin. Albino milk snakes appear in bright shades of red, orange and white. The biologist says two-headed snakes have been documented to live as long as 20 years in captivity. But with two brains giving commands to a single body, Parker says the snake would have a difficult time surviving in the wild. (AP Photo/Sunshineserpents.com, Daniel Parker)
