Two-headed snakes appear when the embryo division is not complete, leading to bicephaly, also known as two-headed deformity. The incidence of two-headed deformity in snakes is 1:10,000. The two snake heads in the video are called Ben and Jerry, belonging to the California king snake breed. This pair of snake heads is 4 and a half years old and was bought by him from a friend 3 years ago.
In the video, each snake head swallows a rat on its own. However, this 2-headed snake has the same digestive system, so Brian only dared to feed it 1 mouse to avoid "overeating". 99.9% of animals with biceps do not live a year. However, if they can overcome and mature like Ben and Jerry, their lifespan will be very long, even living to 20-25 years.
Currently, Ben and Jerry are living at The Reptarium Zoo in Michigan. It is also home to a number of other "strange" creatures such as a two-headed turtle, an albino crocodile and a rare black alligator.
Two-headed snakes have two brains that make different decisions. This makes it difficult for them to forage or avoid predators. Therefore, it is difficult for two-headed snakes to survive in the wild.
