    Re: Two Headed Garter Snake

    I doubt that humans will ever get the label of 2 headed like other animals but it is geneticaly possible. I wish I understood the genetic lingo but there is a difference between conjoined twins and additional limbs/heads even in humans. Snakes can be conjoined twins or simply have a genetic abnormality that formed a second head, tail or whatever else. Same with all other animals. If humans can have extra toes, fingers, arms and legs and not be because of a conjoined twin why not a second head?

    I agree with kikakiba, I think they are wonderful and beautiful creatures. Having one and keeping it alive to a ripe old age would be a great feeling.

    Re: Two Headed Garter Snake

    It would, wouldn't it? It would make me respect them even more than I currently do. Some people and creatures have such a strong will to live, even having the abnormalities that they have and that in itself is deserving of respect. It'd be even more wonderful to be the caretaker of one, knowing you helped it to survive and gave it love when some people wouldn't give it a chance.
