Wow . . . a real live two headed tortoise . . . Neat :)

3. I just thought it was cool that the thing was healthy and kickin' :)
I'd be interested to see how long of a life it has.

4. umm, not tortoise
Cuban Slider. Such turtles pop up in our Red Eared Slider populations every once in a while. Don't think they live too long(normal life span 30-40 years). That little critter is probably a few weeks past hatching as the egg tooth is missing.
