ST. LOUIS, Missouri (AP) -- For sale: One snake. Albino. Has two heads. Asking $150,000 or best offer.

The World Aquarium in St. Louis, Missouri, has been home to We, a one-of-a-kind two-headed albino rat snake, since 1999. President Leonard Sonnenschein has decided to sell the reptile, and bidding on e-Bay will start at $150,000 (euro 126,840).

"It's an amazing snake," Sonnenschein said Monday. "When people see it they are awestruck."

The 61/2-year-old snake came to the aquarium's attention when its previous owner distributed a circular offering it for sale days after its birth. The aquarium paid $15,000 (euro 12,685), knowing that most two-headed snakes don't live more than a few months.

Very cool but way to much to pay for something that could drop dead at any moment

They figured it would only live a few months. It's been alive for 6.5 years and will probably live another 10 - 15 years.

It's usually worth it to read the articles

thats a lot of money to be paid for a snake. I wonder if they do breed it will some of the babies have two heads as well?

If it can mate, it's definitely biologically possible that one of the babies could have two heads.

Really? Isn't that just the result of the same factors that determine human conjoinment? As in improper development in the early stages of pre birth growth?

It will be interesting to see what the selling price ultimately is. This bit kind of cracked me up

"We expect the sale of We to be on the same level of demand as a priceless art object," he said."

While a rarity of nature, I don't see it as up there with the Mona Lisa.
