Zoo supervisor Brian Henley said a woman discovered the snake when her dog started chasing something under her front porch, AP reports. The West and Taylor family brought the reptile to Waco'sCameron Park Zoo Sept. 16.
The snake is eating and in good health, the zoo said on Facebook. The zoo will monitor the snake for 90 days before featuring it in its Brazos River Country Texas collection.
Two-headed snakes rarely survive in the wild, because the two brains must operate as one. If one head smells prey on the other’s head, it will try to swallow the second head, according to National Geographic News.
