ST. LOUIS, Missouri (AP) -- For sale: One snake. Albino. Has two heads. Asking $150,000 or best offer.
The World Aquarium in St. Louis, Missouri, has been home to We, a one-of-a-kind two-headed albino rat snake, since 1999. President Leonard Sonnenschein has decided to sell the reptile, and bidding on e-Bay will start at $150,000 (euro 126,840).
"It's an amazing snake," Sonnenschein said Monday. "When people see it they are awestruck."
The 61/2-year-old snake came to the aquarium's attention when its previous owner distributed a circular offering it for sale days after its birth. The aquarium paid $15,000 (euro 12,685), knowing that most two-headed snakes don't live more than a few months.
