Two snakes with different personalities isn't that big a story - until you realise these different reptile heads are attached to the same slinky body.

The two-headed snake has one head which is more aggressive and physically attacks the other one.

Jason Talbott snapped the slithery serpent when his mates found it living in the wild, before taking it into captivity.

The 42-year-old from Kansas says that without working together the snake was unable to bite anything effectively as both heads were required to move the body.

Although it looked like a fearsome beast, the snake was harmless and Jason admitted that its bite would not be enough to break a human's skin.

Jason said: "It is estimated that it is 1 in 10,000 but it is hard to know a true number as they are wild and elusive animals and survival rate is very low.

The two-headed snake was found in Kansas by Jason Talbott's friends
"I'm a massive fan of creepy crawlies and snakes - I've photographed hundreds of them and received a fair few bites along the way. Fortunately they were non-venomous ones.

"The snake had been found by a few of my friends in the wild and when I heard about it, I jumped at the opportunity to get some photos.

"What was funny about the snake was that the two-heads had different personalities. One of the heads was very aggressive and kept trying to bite at objects.

"But the problem was, because they both shared the same body, the aggressive head needed the other one's cooperation to move. It was quite funny to watch, really."
