There's a definite down side to swiping a two-headed albino rat snake: There's no good way to disguise the stolen goods. St. Louis police returned a rare reptile to its museum home Monday, the same day it went missing, after a tipster called in a sighting. Employees of the City Museum realized the snake was gone from its World Aquarium exhibit in the morning, and it soon became clear someone had broken in. They called police, who were quickly on the case. "One of the detectives introduced himself as Ace Ventura, Pet Detective," said Elizabeth Parker, director of the City Museum. But shortly after St. Louis police went to the museum, a woman called the nearby Belleville, Ill., police, to say she'd seen some teens with a two-headed snake. Police arrested two suspects without incident. They said both worked at the City Museum for about a week, but were fired earlier this month. Brandon Smith, 18, of Belleville, Ill., was charged with stealing and second-degree burglary, police said.

Details about the other suspect, a juvenile, were not released. The City Museum, an attraction in downtown St. Louis, is in a former shoe factory and features playground-like rooms and offbeat educational activities. World Aquarium Director Leonard Sonnenschein traveled with a glass case in a police cruiser to pick up the two-headed snake, which was in an Illinois garage. He was thrilled to have the snake back.

Needless to say the snake has more brains than the two teens that pulled the heist.

Didn't know that the original owner had sold it. I've seen it before on TV, this is a very close match to what it looks like:

god imagine having 2 heads, i'd have to brush two lots of teeth, do do lots of hair, wash 2 faces, nah i'm happy with one head thank you very much...

But for a snake i doubt it matters, can take it in turns to eat with each mouth i guess...

Having two heads would have its advantages. I mean two brains wow thats great and 4 eyes..you could probably see anything..but nah it would have too many disadvantages

having 2 heads would be all disadvantage if you ask me, 2 animalistic minds trying to do somthing, like trying to strike at an animal, if both heads control the body then it would throw it totaly off and it would most likely miss, not to mention if one decides to go one way, and the other another, it would be so frustrating. i know a guy who sells turtles and he has a hatchling red belly turtle with 2 heads, it hatched a couple weeks ago, and he says it hardly eats, has way to many scutes in its shell, and its basically just not doing good at all.
