Conjoined rattlesnakes to be separated

TUCSON, AZ (KOLD) – Two conjoined Diamondback Rattlesnakes were found about a week ago at a construction site near Tucson.

The person who found them contacted staff at the Desert Museum to save the seemingly ill-fated creatures, who were dehydrated.

Experts at the museum say these conjoined snakes are connected at the neck with soft tissue. They both have full bodies and two seperate heads.

They cautioned this particular gentic mishap cannot be classified as a two-headed snake because they don’t share bodies.

Specialized veterinarians plan to surgically seperate the two this Thursday at the Desert Museum.
