A Cambridge, Mass., man now belongs to a small group of people in the world who own a rare two-headed snake.

  • "This particular snake, the right head eats, most of the time the right head eats, occasionally the left head eats," Wallach said. "I haven't been able to decide whether this is one snake with one body or one body with two heads."

    Van Wallach, who is the curatorial assistant at Harvard's Department of Invertebrates, was given the two-headed milk snake after someone found it in Augusta, Maine, according to the report.

    The snake has two separate brains and one stomach.

    "This particular snake, the right head eats, most of the time the right head eats, occasionally the left head eats," Wallach said. "I haven't been able to decide whether this is one snake with one body or one body with two heads."

    Wallach said he is observing the snake's behavior and teaching it how to live.

    Wallach, who is a fan of the New England Patriots said he named the right head of the snake Belichick for Pats coach Bill Belichick and the left head Brady for quarterback Tom Brady.

    The milk snake is valued at $30,000.
