Want a cool pet?

We is up for auction on eBay -- from BoingBoing:
Two-headed snake for auction
This two-headed albino rat snake will be auctioned on eBay with a starting bid of $150,000. The 6-year-old snake, named We, currently lives at the World Aquarium in St. Louis, Missouri. The aquarium purchased her for $15,000 just after she was born. From the Associated Press:
An inch (2.5 centimeters) thick and 4 feet (1.2 meters) long, she is a healthy size for a rat snake. While her body is white, the heads have a reddish appearance.
We has survived because, unlike some two-headed animals, both mouths are connected to the same stomach, (aquarium president Leonard) Sonnenschein said.
Cute lil' bug:
