Don't let them take your wasted time. J.T.

The two heads seem to be equal in every way. It'll be interesting come feeding time.

I know you must be excited! Good luck with him and please keep us posted on his progress.

What are the odds? In other words, how many babies have you hatched before getting a bicephalic (I love getting a chance to use that word)?

0.1 Hypomelanistic striped cornsnake
0.0.3 Hypo (het lavender, striped) cornsnake hatchlings
0.0.5 Normal (het hypo, lavender, striped) cornsnake hatchlings
1.2 Gray-banded kingsnakes, blairs phase
1.1 Oregon rubber boas

This is actually my first year of breeding. I've hatched a few corns at the nature center where I work, but I only hatched three clutches of corns to get this two-headed snow. It has 17 siblings, four snow, breeding amel X amel, het anery.
Most of my pics are too big to post, I'll be putting more on my web site, www.dunnsmountainreptiles.com.

A while back someone posted instructions for posting multiple pics using Photobucket. It does not require resizing. I did it recently for the first time (see my post below) and it works great. Here is the link to that post. It is in the milksnake forum.

I hope you will post some pics of your two-header when it is shedding and eating. That would be cool to see!

Good luck with it.

Neat smake. Hope it makes it. I too had a two-headed snow corn about 10 years ago, only mine didn't make it out alive. I think this happens more frequently than many people realize.

I more recently had a two-headed honduran milk that failed to hatch as well.

Wish you well.

I knew I should have put my glasses on or previewed my message. Make that "m" an "n".

Wow! Do you have any pics of your snow corn?

Mike Lambert

Very cool!!!!!

I think I would always try to offer it very small meals vs larger ones too. From what I understand the "weakest link" seems to be where the two spines fuse into the single vertebrae. The smaller meals might put less stress on that more delicate area.

When (and if) it gets bigger, you could simply feed it more smaller meals at one time to compensate for the diameter and volume of the meals.

Congrats on that very symmetrical two-headed anomaly!!!

How about an update.
Has the little snow eaten? or shed? or shed and eaten?
