RIDGE MANOR, Fla. -- A University of Central Florida biologist says a rare, two-headed albino milk snake was recently born.Daniel Parker told Orlando television station WKMG the snake hatched last week in an incubation container.Parker said most two-headed snakes have typical coloration. Albino snakes don't have dark pigmentation in their skin. Albino milk snakes appear in bright shades of red, orange and white.The biologist says two-headed snakes have been documented to live as long as 20 years in captivity.

But with two brains giving commands to a single body, Parker says the snake would have a difficult time surviving in the wild.
