An aquarium in St. Louis is selling a one-of-a-kind two-headed albino rat snake for at least $150,000, according to a Local 6 News report.
The World Aquarium in St. Louis is auctioning off the snake online to help pay for education, conservation and research programs.

The snake is named We and is 4 feet long.
It was bought by the aquarium for $15,000 right after it was born six years ago.
Aquarium officials said We is at the prime age for reproduction and should live another 10 to 15 years.
Officials said unlike other two-headed snakes, both of its mouths are connected to the same stomach.
