In the USA, they successfully operated on a two-headed snake
A rare Tiger Lily snake with two heads forced experts to perform an urgent surgical intervention. Experts saved it through a complex operation, according to the Missouri Department of Health.
The health condition of the rare snake specimen suddenly deteriorated when it began to sneeze blood, causing serious alarm. Surgical interventions were carried out on the eve of its departure from the Powder Valley Center, Fox5 reports.
According to the center's press release, experts found that the snake's ovaries were in a "pre-ovulatory state."
A staff veterinarian at the St. Louis Zoo commented to the media, "Under normal circumstances, follicles grow in the ovaries and then they are deposited.
However, in this case, the snake's follicles did not ovulate but instead continued to grow and remained immobile in its ovary. Over time, this led to inflammation and the risk of infection.
Due to the situation, all anomalies were eliminated, and the snake remains under medical supervision.
What is known about the snake
"Tiger-Lily was found by a family from Stone County, Missouri, in 2017. According to veterinarians, the two-headed snake is actually identical twins that have fused together and could not separate properly.
