Two headed T. sirtalis

Posted by MsTT on June 15, 2002 at 17:49:43:

This malformed newborn garter snake was brought in to a Central Florida reptile park today, and I ended up taking it home for care and study. Probably for preservation in formalin, too. The malformations are severe and I do not expect this animal to live more than a day or two. The second head has no lower jaw or tongue and the animal is uncoordinated and weak, spasming when it attempts to move.

Local photographers wanting to get better pictures of this poor little thing before it dies are welcome to contact me at atheris (at) usa (dot)net.

TT
