Here's one ugly animal kingdom honoree you can have for your very own. "We", a two-headed albino rat snake is soon to be auctioned on ebay, with a starting price of $150,000. We's current owner, the World Aquarium in St. Louis is auctioning the snake to raise money for educational programs at the aquarium. We is unique in that most two headed snakes generally don't survive longer than a few months. Often, the two heads fight each other for food, and injury or starvation result. Also, often the digestive appparati are incomplete or malformed. We, however has survived for over 6 years and is healthy due to a shared stomach between the two heads. It is also believed that one of the heads is genetically male, although the reproductive apparatus of the snake is female and fertile.
