An unusual and rare two-headed snake is about to celebrate its 6th birthday. The celebration will be organized by the Missouri Department of Conservation in the United States.

A female double-headed western rat snake named Tiger Lily was found by a family in Stone County in the fall of 2017 and donated to the Department of Conservation’s Shepherd of the Hills Conservation Center.

A two-headed snake 1.5 meters long.

The party will be held next Saturday (7) in the Scenic Overlook parking lot at the Ruth and Paul Henning MDC Reserve in Branson. MDC Interpretive Center manager Alison Bleich said the two-headed reptile was almost 1.5 meters long.

According to Bleich, two heads want to eat, but the reptile has only one esophagus. She also said that she puts a small cup on one head while the other eats and then they switch places, otherwise they would both be trying to catch the same mouse.
