In most of these snakes, there is a dominat head (sounds strang LOL) but in this snake it looks obvious that the head that is at a less of an angel from the snakes body would be the stronger of the two, the other head looks like an after thought. In some of the snakes either head can feed because they share a stomach and common throat, in others only one head can feed because the other is to deformed. While feeding a snake with this kind of deformity the keeper would have to take care to make sure that both heads don't latch onto the same pinkie. Obviously they can't swallow each other (I think that would cause them to dissappear LOL) but the struggle could cause harm to them.

Oddly this kind of deformity is a fairly sought after item and I have seen these snakes sell in the 10K range. Not sure I would purposly try and take on the care needed for one of these animals, let alone pay 10k to do so?
