    I bet you all saw the news on the snake found in South Carolina that supossedly has one head in each end of the body, as opossed to the two heads in one end like "normal" two headed snakes?

    Well I'm starting to think the people who found it are just craving attention as they seemingly haven´t allowed the experts to take a closer look and the videos and photos aren´t very clear.

    The snake has been tentatively identified as a rough earth snake.

    Many snakes have tails that look like heads, as a way of diverting predator's attention to the tail, but the rough snake is not one of them.

    Maybe this is just an individual that lost its tail? What do you guys think?

    Could just be a tail that looks like a head, the video being poor quality and no experts getting a proper look at it make me a bit suspicious too.
