October 17, 2003 - CNN :: Kentucky: Hunter York was afraid of snakes, but he couldn't resist the two-headed reptile he found. The 10-year-old said he picked up the black king snake with a stick, then noticed it grabbed the stick with two heads. The 81/2-inch female reptile hasn't eaten since Hunter found it October 4. Ed Zimmer, a Murray State University biology professor and herpetologist, estimated the occurrence of a two-headed snake at 1 in 10,000.
