It's not common, but two headed snakes can occur, basically it's twins in one egg that develope into one snake.

I am not sure, it looks fake to me but then again it might just be deformed from having two heads and why would they sell it if it is not real. My guess is it's real. (I am no expert on two-headed snakes. lol.)

It's real, he's selling it because it's 10 years old, and he's asking $25000 for it, I guess he figures the money is more important than the snake.
I have seen pictures of many 2 headers, including a rattlesnake the owner called "Double Trouble".

If I had a snake like that I wouldn't sell it for anything....well ok maybe some things but not 25000 because a snake like that is priceless.

I like how a snake would cost $25K, but the $20 overnight shipping is not included...
If you were to drop that much on a snake, you should be able to afford to drive out and get it yourself... why risk at snake that costs that much in the hands of USP or FedEx? (Or worse, USPS... $20 shipping)
There is no way that I would ever buy from this seller.
