here's something crazy. and i guess she's selling it cause it has a price tag of 50,000 dollars!

i think specimens like these should be kept by the breeder, there shouldn't be a reason why they should try to sell it.

Thats pretty wild, the local pet shop told me one of their suppliers has a 2 headed corn snake for sale for 25k...What would you do with a 2 headed anything??

not to mention the short life span these creatures have (which suggests to me an unhealthy animal (s) ) Its like that turtle website that sells two headed and eye less turtles. And to think we get worked up over things like inbreeding, there are people out there willing to go that far. While I don't think that the animal necissarily should be put down, I do think that it ought to be treated like a special needs animal ( no reputable breeder would sell a special needs animal for profit, but would rather would either keep it or place it in a suitable home. Cute buggers though (I say plural because I think its two beardies, not one... )

I must be in a weird mood because that video made me cry. :cry:

Brat!

nat's obviously right about the short life span, and a normal healthy bearded dragon lives to only 6-9 years, imagine this little 2 headed baby, just a waste of money

i doubt it will make it to adult hood, lucky if it even makes it to be a juvinelle. it dosent look very healthy. it never moved very much...

 

[Mike]

Yeah, that won't last long.

I saw this dragon at one of the 2007 California shows I was working at. Unfortunately, I can't remember which one it was. She was walking about with the dragon(s) on her shoulder.

I think that's selling dragons short, I'd be willing to say the average well cared for dragon can easily hit 10 years. A dragon with good genetics and an experienced keeper can see even 15 years (just ask Ronnie Buck)

That being said a dragon with 2 heads is either a very rare natural mutation or theirs some bad inbreeding going on, I feel bad for it and others like it.

 

[Little Wise Owl]

Poor thing

 

[RehabRalphy]

Inbred mutation?

Inbred mutation?

Very possible, I know it's thought that inbreeding depression is the result of many many deleterious mutations. Mutations from inbreeding are a very likely cause here IMO.

Oh, I was talking about the Owner :jes

 

[Tux]

That's possible too!

 

[hoosier]

thats sad cuz theres a high chance that it wont live very long and i dont think you should say that the lizard is "worh" anything. if she sells it thats just wrong to me.

Ya, 2 headed beardies have been seen a couple times, usually 1 head is more functioning then the other and I don't believe any have lasted long, shouldn't really expect it to with that big of deformity. It's sad but as they say only the strong survive. If it's not showing signs of suffering I'd try and raise it for sure though, seems the fair thing to do. I wouldn't try and sell it, that's a scam.
