In Norristown, PA, a pet shop owner has bought a two-headed, or more commonly known as a conjoined turtle to be put on display in his store. It's only two months old, and is the size of a silver dollar!
It has two heads, poking out from either side of the shell, two sets of front feet, but only set of hind legs and one tail. Apparently it's in perfect health and is expected to live up to 15-20 years!
The pet shop owner also told reporters that the same Florida rare turtle collector sold them a conjoined turtle about 20 years ago.
