The folks that manage the World Aquarium at the St. Louis City Museum are hoping that a new exhibit slated to open in a week and that will run through September 5th will garner the attention of the Guinness World Record. They hope to have the exhibit with the most two headed creatures or animals on display at that time. The aquarium has already lined up such things as ten two headed snakes and turtles, including a very unusual and rare two headed albino rat snake. If a St. Louis reptile dealer adds to the mix, the number of two headed critters will rise up to 22. Aquarium president Leonard Sonnenschein is calling the event a huge two headed party. In fact, he hopes to mate the albino snake with another two headed female snake known as Golden Girls. He said that while there are no guarantees, it is likely that they will mate and have young ones. They had tried to sell the albino snake online at a reptile auction, with no success. The aquarium officials had hoped the snake would nab $150,000. Offers actually were under $50,000. The breaking of the world record could result in all of these two headed animals landing in a more permanent home as opposed to spending a good deal of time traveling all about. |
