I heard about this on the local radio this morning.
From CNN.com:
The World Aquarium in St. Louis, Missouri, has been home to We, a one-of-a-kind two-headed albino rat snake, since 1999. President Leonard Sonnenschein has decided to sell the reptile, and bidding on e-Bay will start at $150,000 .
"It's an amazing snake," Sonnenschein said Monday. "When people see it they are awestruck."
The 61/2-year-old snake came to the aquarium's attention when its previous owner distributed a circular offering it for sale days after its birth. The aquarium paid $15,000 , knowing that most two-headed snakes don't live more than a few months.
But We has survived and thrived. An inch (2.5 centimeters) thick and 4 feet long, she is a healthy size for a rat snake. While her body is white, the heads have a reddish appearance.
