would be very interesting to see live. I always wondered what I could buy with that 150 thousand I have in my piggy bank. !!:mednormal

I don't believe it's real. I think the photo has been altered. The right head is at a 90 degree angle but the other one seems almost strait.. Also the neck of the right head is darker and slightly blurry.

on top of that ebay does not allow selling of animals. And i does not look albino, its eyes are more brownish then red.

I think it's real. I mean it's home has been The World Aquarium in St Louis for the past six years. :medsoso:

Well duh. The article and the picture are by the same person so faking the details in the article would be much easier than faking the photo.

Ok I'm a pesimist so I guess it could be real I just don't believe everything I see on the Internet. If it was in a scientific magizine it would be more credible.

Also why would they auction it off on ebay. Surely they have contacts, if they are who they say they are, that would have more resources than anybody bidding on ebay.

Hmmmm....now that you mention it the video of the snake moving is a little suspcious, the head on the right doesn't seem to move at all. The whole ebay thing seems a bit peculiar too. Could be a big shake-up-----you never know coming from the internet, you're right. Still, it looks pretty damn real.

2 of those links look identical to the 1 I posted, just different news companies.

Either way it looks legit, now if it was a boa I would find the dough for it, lol.

i think its real they had a two headed snake in the record book a couple years a go but i think spending that much is crazy. i would rather have a one headed snake then a two headed snake

wierd that the buyer STILL has to pay for shipping, as it says in the top or feptiles auction..... but at the bottom says no shipping i dunno
