Will they take turns for future meals?īut once we get beyond the sensationalism of the snake itself, who is Daniel Parker and what exactly does his organization do?įirst, I discovered that Sunshine Serpents is about more than serpents. You can’t help but wonder which head ate the Thanksgiving meal. This is one reason these snakes usually don’t survive in the wild or even in captivity.
See, the snake lives with two minds and mouths and only one body-and each head has a different idea of where that body should be going and what it should be doing. That’s pretty rare-and here’s another fact: Parker’s snake is surviving, unlike other snakes. Naturally, we wonder how rare this kind of thing is and so we go for the figures: 1 in 10,000 snakes emerge from the egg with two heads. The fact that the snake was both albino and two-headed was especially surprising.Ī small storm of news surrounded his organization, which works with UCF-Sunshine Serpents-and the snake became a sensation.
“I couldn’t believe what I was looking at, “ he says. While watching his albino Honduras Milk Snakes emerge from their eggs a few weeks ago, wildlife enthusiast Daniel Parker had to do a double-take when he saw a double-headed snake. There is more to the story of the snake-and more to the story than the snake.
You might have heard that a two-headed snake emerged from its shell recently at Sunshine Serpents-and you might have just read that it ate its first meal just in time for Thanksgiving.
