Two-headed turtle found in Fairfax County Virginia
A curious double headed turtle about an inch and a quarter long was found in Fairfax County Virginia and entered by a Washington dealer. One head showed more reaction when tapped while the other remained still. The dealer, with 25 years in reptiles, had never seen such a creature.
