A woman in Maine came across a two-headed baby snapping
turtle that was trying to cross the road. Kathleen Talbot of Hudson told WLBZ-TV she discovered the
turtle as she monitored other turtle hatchlings trekking across.
"I thought he had two feet in the front,' she told
the affiliate station. 'I thought he was deformed. I didn't realize it
was two heads until I got him home and washed him. Then he came to life and
was just starving.'
The young turtle was named Frank and Stein, the affiliate
station said.
Talbot told Bangor Daily News 'I bought him reptile
pellets, which he’s not sure if he likes yet, but he does like worms and flies
and hamburger.'
'My intentions aren’t to keep him, but to at least give
him a good start,' she told the newspaper. 'Then maybe the New England Aquarium
or someplace like that would want him.'
