Here's a pic of an interesting Hog that didn't quite make it full term.

Wow! That would have been interesting. Too bad it didnt make it. Are you going to preserve it?

Is that thing real or photoshopped I can't tell. If it's real that would be the first of it's kind right? in terms of hogs that is. Very interesting!!!!

Yeah, I thought about that after I posted. It does look a bit mirrored. Would like a confirmation though.

It's the real thing!! I don't know if it's the first two headed Hog, but Brian from BHB had one that had two noses last year, and it was alive.

That's insane!!! Did you take any more pics of it? What did you do with it? What do the parents look like?

That's amazing! What did you do with it? I hope you preserved it or something. If not, I have an empty jar that would love to be it's new home! Some pals of mine run a sideshow themed club in North Hollywood, and something like that would make a lovely prop...allthough considering how rare bicephylic snakes are, it's not suprising that people are never willing to give them up. :P

I've got it in the freezer. I'll probably get some formaldehyde and preserve it. Otherwise it will deteriorate in the freezer.

If you can't get your hands on formaldehyde, 99% alchohol usually works for me (and doesn't smell nearly as bad!). Haven't tested it in the long term... but the oldest specimine I have in alchohol is about 6 years old (also a snake, incidently) and aside from some color fading, it's held up quite well.

But good...just as long as he doesn't go to waste! That's probably the cutest two headed anything I've ever seen.
