Here are some pictures of a 2 headed Russian tortoise that a friend of mine hatched out. These pictures are about 6 months old and I hope to get some updated pictures soon.
Here is the top.
and here is what it looks like from the bottom.
They are doing great as of a few weeks ago.

Cuteness! Did you read the article on dicephalism in sankes in this month Reptiles magazine? The author is doing research on the phenomenon he wanted people to email him at vwallch@oeb.harvard.edu. In case you or your friend were interested.

I never really trusted me behind my back. I never really know what I'm goint to do to me next. The damn voices in my head can never even seem to agree on anything!! I also think one of them is plotting against me..... I just know it!!
Do you hear something....? Is that footsteps?.......mommy?

Technically speaking, "voices in your head" would point to schizophrenia, not "split personality" (multiple personality disorder). I believe they are both dissociative disorders, but not at all alike.
Now aren't you sorry you said anything at all?

That's probably a wise decision.

I did see that article.
You are going to see a great deal many more genetic freaks considering the success that breeders are having and the inbreeding that is going on due to color and pattern selection.

Was this guy at the reptile show in Pomona last week? I talked to a guy there with a video camera that had a screen on it and he was showing people a video of a two-headed Russian tortoise that was larger than the one in your picture. Husky guy with black hair, with an old lady who said she was the president or something of the Long Beach tortoise club.
