[ mu] applause ] whenever you walk out with a reptile, in this instance a snake, you always hear this oh from the audience. This one is really harmless. Oh, i see the differenc this is one of our most usual creatures right now at the San Diego Zoo and our reptile house is drawing raves because it has two heads. Look at this. Thshe strangest thing i have ever seen. Its name is velma louise. [ laughter ] is a ma. H s a e. Right, o tongues d they use their tongues for smelling. Do you want to hold her . Is not poisonous, is it . No. They used their tongue for smelling and some people think well, thats dangerous. No, theyre just smelling. They use their teeth for capturing their prey. Right. And they do have nice, sharp, small teeth and they eat rottens. This one is called the corn snake. A corn snake . An corn snakes are called that because they are found in fields, theyre found in the east of the united states. They strong, arent they . Very strong. Snakes have up to 500 vertebrae, can you see the two heads there . Now, the right head is dominant. She is the one that eats most of the time.

But only one of the heads eats. Only one tends to eat, the otheone has eaten occasionally, t generally the right head is dominant. In the wild, th would be difficult because the sneaks would compete for od, so they wouldnte very effective hunter. Thats a strange animal. As if they were going opposite directions. People think snakes are slimy, they are not. They very clean, arent they . Theyre very clean. Yeah. You know, when people see the sneak and they go home and then they think about it, and they think maybe i didnt really see that. And they write us ck and say, did i really see a two headed snake .
