Yes, that's also true. They need special care, though and outside of captivity, their chances of survival are not as good.

Yes, this is a FACT! 2-headed animals are more likely in reptiles, possibly because of the high amounts of offspring they have at once. This can increase the chances of abnormalities because the mother is making so many babies at once.

Bicephaly happens in reptiles quite a lot.

That's interesting because I saw this one in person. Her name is Medusa and the two heads DO seem to have their own separate thoughts. Like, sometimes they want to go in opposite directions. The epic moment was when one head looked at me and the other was looking at someone else.

Funny fact: Someone on Jigsaw Planet sent me a message saying that my alien art was "too woke and too bright" with "too many rainbows" so, I made him a special puzzle that represents an alien that he can identify with better...Because I'm thoughtful like that... 🤪👽😂

Fun facts: Statistically, American politicians are WAY more deadly than American snakes. Most people bitten by American vipers will survive with prompt medical care. Of the 5000 or so Americans bitten by snakes each year, only about 5 pass away on average. Most vipers are NOT highly venomous.

Three baby pygmy rattlesnakes of different colors. One is orange with brown spots, the middle one is tan with brown spots and the snake on the right is brown with black and orange spots. This species comes in varying colors.

A brown and black American water moccasin, AKA, a cottonmouth, with it's mouth open, exposing the white lining of it's mouth showing. This is a warning posture to warn people and animals to stay TF away from this snake! They're known to have a defensive disposition.

My adored Allosaurus.

USNM 4734 is the neotype for Allosaurus fragilis, or the fossil that essentially defines the anatomy of the species for comparisons. A real rock star. 🧪

Yes, the puzzle is STILL there on the website...I don't think the guy was amused because he never messaged back. People like the puzzle, though. It's been played 67 times as of this post! 😂🤣

Guy said my alien puzzles are "Too Woke" so, I made him a puzzle - jigsaw puzzle (98 pieces)

Fact: I'm not just a snake account. I also write, I make sci-fi puzzle art, I read #tarot cards and I play #handpan drum.

Random Snake Facts @randomfacts.bsky.social · Jun 29

Yeah...And don't even get me started with my #scifi art...I have a ton of that too. I make puzzle art from it. Here is my link. It's free and you can make any size puzzle you want, from 4 to 300 pieces. The stuff in the "my art" folders is my original art:

Ouuuuuuhhh, matching cake with my noodles sounds NICE! I'm very happy, seeing how their colours have developed...and how they've grown. Not cake, but a baby pic for comparison. Now, THAT looks more like coffee to me...
