Rare Two-Headed Snake Swallows Mice Simultaneously In Viral Video [Watch]

A two-headed snake was caught on camera swallowing mice simultaneously with both its mouths. The video, which was posted by vlogger Brian Barczyk on Instagram, has gone viral.

“Two headed Ben and Jerry eating. Miss all my snakes and animals, but we will be home soon. Having a blast on this adventure and have so much more to share!” reads the caption shared alongside the clip.

The video shows the snake gulping down two white mice with both its heads. The clip is certainly not for people who dislike or are scared of snakes.

The video was posted on July 21 and as of Monday morning had been viewed by thousands of people and received more than 18,000 likes. The video left people totally shocked, with many users wanting to know more about the snakes with two heads.

"Do they have two digestive tracts or does it meet along the way and go into one?" one curious user asked. Another user wrote: "Somebody mind explaining how does a 2-headed snake come about... In my country every kid grew up to stories about a legendary demon 7-headed snake, but that was just that, stories... But how does this mutation even happen?"

It remains unclear when and where the video had been taken. The species of the snake was also not known.

According to his Instagram bio, Barczyk travels the world for animal adventures and shoots videos of various wild animals in their natural habitat.

Two-headed snakes are rare, but this is not the first time they have been spotted in the wild. Last year, a woman in Florida was shocked when her pet cat brought home a two-headed snake. The cat brought the snake inside through the doggy door and placed it on the carpet. "She brings us presents all the time. This day, my daughter sent me a message. 'Mom, she brought in a snake and it has two heads,'" Kay Rogers told WFTS Tampa Bay at the time. They then placed the reptile in a plastic container and began talking to experts about it.

"We went and got like a habitat setup for it. I was talking to a couple different reptile specialists and they were kind of helping me through what to do with him like getting him a heating pad and trying to feed him," she told the television station.
