A two headed snake has become a major attraction at the Miami Serpentarium. Named Hatfield and McCoy after the infamous feuding clans of West Virginia, the snake is now about three feet (1 m) long. Both heads are active, and if one is covered the other can see. However, the snake seems confused as to whether two heads are better than one.

They have a problem sometimes,” says the Serpentarium’s director, Bill Haast, “because they might want to go different ways. You can see a kind of vibration being set up, as if there’s a tug of war going on.”
