Rare, 2-headed snake discovered by Florida house cat - Live Science

"Dos" the snake has 2 brains, 2 throats and one scaly body.

That would be this rare, two-headed racer snake recently discovered by a house cat in Palm Harbor, Florida.

The family was bewildered to see that a small, speckled snake with two heads attached to the same body, each one able to move its eyes, neck and tongue independently.

The family named the snake "Dos" — Spanish for "two.".

"His biggest problem is eating," Kay Rogers, the cat's owner, said of the two-headed snake on Facebook.

This condition — known as bicephaly — is an uncommon abnormality that occurs during embryonic development, when identical twins fail to fully separate, Live Science previously reported.

For now, Dos is being cared for by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC), which recently took some spiffy head shots (heads shots?) of the snake for Facebook.
