Imagine living with 2 heads and 1 body...

You could classify a 2 headed snake underneath the word monster or protected specie. Not to long ago in Spain a 2 headed snake was found and has given scientists the opportunity to study their abnormality. This particular snake was found near the village of Pinoso, Spain and is called a ladder snake. The ladder snake is non-venomous and it’s about 8 cm in length. Survival for these types of animals is very poor, I’m not saying they should be protected or put under special conditions (like no hunting or killing). Burghardt says that its takes a great length of time for either snake to eat due to the fact that they fight over their prey. It’s like any other animal in the world having 2 heads and 1 body…. They especially struggle with direction and which way to slither, which makes them fall as easier prey. I guess we never really know what’s out there because there is always something new to discover.
