  I’m not normally one for cute names, but I kind of hope they call it Zaphod.

  • [Michael Smith]

    I am sure that snake is smarter than Zaphod.

  I recall one summer back in the 90s when my brother and I managed to interbreed coral snakes and planaria. The result looked much like this fellow. We called him Frank.

• [Donald Petersen]

  It’s not quite Monster X.  Sure looks like it could be Monster Y.

• [Brainspore]

  It’s a baby Hydra. Just don’t start chopping any of those things off or you’ll just end up with another mouth to feed.

• [Joseph Francis]

  The weird thing is each head has only one fork of the tongue.

• [theophrastvs]

  The junction point of the vertebrae sure looks like a fused mess.  They should try an MRI to get a view of the esophagi and tracheaeaeaeae..

• [eldueno]

  D0es it get to vote twice as some other Florida voters do?

• [gwailo_joe]

  I’m just impressed with how tasty that snake looks: orange creamsicle with a strawberry swirl…

  or maybe watermelon. yum. I’m tellin’ ya, that is one delicious snake.

  Notwithstanding the snake part…

• [Teller]

  Was gonna do a Strauss-Kahn beat but couldn’t figure it out.

• [kmoser]

  Why do two-headed snakes always seem to bifurcate near the heads? Why not ever near the end of the tail?

  • [not a doktor]

    I think they still have rudimentary shoulder bones/vertebrae and that’s where the split goes.

• [Rhiannon RhingaLinge Linge-Bro]

  i want it! it’s so kyoooooot!

• [menurunkan_berat_badan]

  wow .. very awesome God’s creation is a snake

• [Vnend]

  I am amazed by the color.  It looks like a Sculpy figure after the artist ran out of all the ‘natural’ colors.
