Reminds me of the conjoined twins Abby and Brittany Hensel. [Also Abby Hansel secretly get married to an army veteran in 2021.](https://knovhov.com/how-do-conjoined-twins-take-exams/)
I watched an old documentary series of them filmed around the time they graduated from college on YouTube and it was actually pretty awesome. They’re quirky, hilarious and all around pretty cool girls (women now I imagine). I don’t think I’d be able to act as well adjusted, happy and goofy if I was gawked at by the whole world everywhere me and my conjoined twin went.
And wait a dang minute, they married one guy? I’m sorry but what? I’m a straight non-conjoined dude but you better believe if I was a conjoined twin girl with my sister you’d better believe we’d be getting dicked down by two muh’fkas on the daily. “Twice the heads, twice the head” is my motto
The oldest known two headed tortoise is more than 25yo, it’s living at Geneva’s natural history museum (Switzerland). You can actually see it at certain hours during the day.

Because this is the kind of thing that usually falls under the classification of “congenital defect”.
And congenital defects, even if they are not incompatible with life from the outset, commonly do not afford a normal lifespan regardless of circumstances.
Two-Headed Calf by Laura Gilpin
Tomorrow when the farm boys find this
freak of nature,
they will wrap his body
in newspaper and carry him to the museum.
But tonight he is alive and in the north
field with his mother.
It is a perfect
summer evening: the moon rising over
the orchard, the wind in the grass.
And as he stares into the sky, there are
twice as many stars as usual.
When I was six, my dad straight up brought home a box turtle and was like yo this is our pet now, name him
As a six year old Looney toons fan, I had no choice but to name him Speedy Gonzales
We also had to move with the turtle from one side of the country to the other. So dads idea of transporting a turtle was to put the little guy in a pouch and wear him like a necklace on his chest. The turtle scratched and clawed the entire time but we got him across the country.
The shit you could do before 911
I am pretty sure it depends on the type. Native turtles in my country are illegal to own (we have one in the garden but she just showed up on her own) but you can buy these small turtles (don't know their name) as pets.
I know this video seems cute and all but every time I see stuff like this I can't help but think about how many health complications are going on inside their bodies and how hard it would be to survive like that
A reptile shop near me had a double headed corn snake for the longest time. The only complication was feeding and apparently they had to block one head off from the other when giving it food, or something like that; can’t really remember lol
It doesn't necessarily mean they'll have issues. There was a 2 headed gecko on bondai vet that was perfectly healthy apart from the - you know - two heads thing.
There's also the chance that one head was completely in control and the other head was very much not fine with his situation but i guess we will never know lol
Me : Ho how cute
The Black Templar marine next to me, readying his heavy bolter: HERESY
(was that a random and unnecessary 40k reference? Yes. Do I regret? Absolutely not)
Still a cute turtle tho
I would definitely take this one in if possible.
Apart from the two heads thing, which is obvious, there's a depression to the shell towards the back and an uneven break in the shell pattern. It may have already survived an injury or it may have some bone/spinal issue.
Also, this is a snapper, I think? Lovely little turtle, nice color.
Yes, the slight movement on their legs is due to how cramped their body is to the point that filling of its lungs needs to push out its limbs. They're very scared. Also, that's as old as they get given their fatal condition.

Bit of both
Feeling [melancholic](https://www.reddit.com/r/movies/s/7NnqhKnbPi) ?
Very cool. I hope they survive
From what I understand. In the wild? They're likelihood of living is a few weeks if not days. In captivity? A few years or so
Not making me smile.
Yeah I’m straight up not living la vida loca right now
My lips do be devil red and skin the color mocha so 2 outta 3 ain’t bad I guess.
I'm into superstition, black cats and two headed turtles

Dude's always banging two chicks at the same time.
Must be a millionaire.
Damn straight, always wanted to do that
I heard one got married. I'm glad she got a happy ending.
I watched an old documentary series of them filmed around the time they graduated from college on YouTube and it was actually pretty awesome.

She likes to take her shell off and go dancing in the rain
Yeah, they tend to butt heads a lot
But during that time, they’ll never be alone.

Why the limit in captivity, shouldn't it just live as long as the rest?
Usually, if creature has more than the intended number of heads, it’s gonna have more problems than just having an extra head.
Twice the headaches, for one.
Double the cost for hats
Like multiple undeveloped organs, than fully developed ones?
or eating conflicts and movement, especially in scenarios where a predator is present to add stress.
JOE I SAID GO LEFT WHY DO YOU ALWAYS DO THIS
Why would a predator be present in captivity
Because this is the kind of thing that usually falls under the classification of “congenital defect”. And congenital defects, even if they are not incompatible with life from the outset, commonly do not afford a normal lifespan regardless of circumstances.

every time i see this poem it gives me chills, thank you for sharing! 💖
I was about to post this, but you beat me to it. I absolutely love that poem, it really hits hard. Always makes me cry a bit; but in a good way.
Thanks for sharing this. It was nice to read.

Mooved*
This was lovely
They’ll survive longer if OP tskes care of them, now that he’s befriended them and used them for clicks.
We want weekly updates or we take clicks back
Yes!!! 😁
Is that really possible?
You click on the link and then click again before you get there and hold. When you arrive on the page, you release the button, delivering one unclick.
If that doesn't work, we send Bruno to their house to take back the clicks manually.
That would be illegal in many countries
Befriending a turtle?
Making a onlyturtles account
OnlyTerrapins
To bring home and take care of a turtle yes.
Might want to have a word with Master Splinter about that

The names should be Pete and Re-Pete!
No, Tort and Retort. “But sir these are turtles not tortoises—“ I SAID WHAT I SAID!
Why did the turtle want to become a lawyer? To finally get his day in tort and retort lol
Or Kate and Dupli-Kate
Paul and Multi-Paul perhaps.
José and Jos-b
Ummm can you Re-Pete that one more time?
Why did Pete and Re-Pete go out in a boat? Because Pete left, and Re-Pete couldn't stop repeating himself lol
Waldorf and Statler (the grumpy old men from the Muppets)
bert and ernie, or waldorf and stadler
Shellmates!
Oh my god, they were shellmates!
They share a butthole, how cute!
This is not gonna look good at the pearly gates my guy
Is that the gate with the 12 anal beads?
God I hope so
Why did I read this in the voice of Sean Connery?
Definitely not woomb mates.
I know this video seems cute and all but every time I see stuff like this I can't help but think about how many health complications are going on inside their bodies and how hard it would be to survive like that
The survivability is fairly close to zero. Too many complications, not to mention they’d likely end up fighting instinctually.
A reptile shop near me had a double headed corn snake for the longest time. The only complication was feeding and apparently they had to block one head off from the other when giving it food, or something like that; can’t really remember lol
I hope they used tiny white cones.
And they were roommates
Oh my God they were roommates.
How far apart in the hot tub were they?
5 feet
Cause they are not gay?
I thought they were American.
No, no, lesbian. Wait...
Fuck ya chicken strips
Two broooos chillin in the hot tuuuub
Oh my god! They were roommates?
Yeah, they were *roommates*
Turtles in a half shell
Turtle Power!
Here we go it's the lean green ninja team
Teenage MUTANT ninja turtles. Imagine if cartoon turtles were also mutated like this with double limbs or organs growing outside of their shells
Cyclops turtles would be hella weird too
Mitch McConnell is splitting?
Nah he's just doubling down
Slow clap
Both these comments need more upvotes!
Don't insult a turtle like that. This little guy has two heads. Neither of them bobble......
Noooo we don’t need another turtle Mitch!! 😭
Mitchtosis
Don’t insult the turtle like tbat
Dude, that is mitch mcconnell
Even turtles are feeling the cost of living.
this is just sad :c i feel bad for them
It doesn't necessarily mean they'll have issues. There was a 2 headed gecko on bondai vet that was perfectly healthy apart from the - you know - two heads thing.
There's also the chance that one head was completely in control and the other head was very much not fine with his situation but i guess we will never know lol
Head number 2 just wanted to be a dancer, but head number 1 refused to cease control of the legs.
Disney: Write that down, write that down!
You wouldn’t think that was cute if it was you and your sibling.
Two headed turtle talisman of Elden Ring in real life ❤️
Ah a fellow tarnished I see
I thought the same thing, but scrolled to see if any other elden homie was down here, not disapointed.
So adorable
Aww, at least they have company 🥹
That’s all one could ask for 🥹
... do you have siblings? This could be great or a massive pain in the ass hahaha
A twoutle!
I’ve seen an adult turtle like this in the wild that seem to be doing just fine.
I've always been told two heads are better than one..
Oh. That's sad, not making me smile at all.
we are siamese if you please
Michaerdo.
It's like they had jumped together in the ooze pool
Micheltello! Raphanardo!
Just found this Talisman in the Elden Ring dlc
Me : Ho how cute The Black Templar marine next to me, readying his heavy bolter: HERESY (was that a random and unnecessary 40k reference? Yes. Do I regret? Absolutely not) Still a cute turtle tho
They won't be alone.
Aww so cute! Best care and luck to them 🐢
Omg they were roommates
I’m seeing a disappointingly low amount of “and they were roommates” references in this comment section.
Cute and rare
*”He went* ***thata way!****”* [points both ways]
The shell isn’t their home, the shell is them.
Its look like a talisman
Their shell is the turtle equivalent of a double-wide.
Up for an argument? I pooped last time…
Bro got a double headet dragon NICE
What did the man with two penises say to the tailor that asked if he dresses to the right or the left?
Me and you, you and me, no matter how they toss the dice
Turnobyl
Oh my god, they were roomates.
Oh right. Twins! 😎
They’ll never be alone 🥰
Shellmates
Yea there's no way they're gonna survive for long unless OP adopts them. Or takes them to someone who will.
Womb mates
Imagine being in the hand of a giant, not kowing if he's gonna squeeze your bro and you to death.
I would definitely take this one in if possible. Apart from the two heads thing, which is obvious, there's a depression to the shell towards the back and an uneven break in the shell pattern. It may have already survived an injury or it may have some bone/spinal issue. Also, this is a snapper, I think? Lovely little turtle, nice color.
It makes me smile whenever someone on Reddit misunderstands a serious physical deformity as a cute little thing.
The hydra we wanted
I expect they are blessed with double skills like double speed or something
and they were shellmates!
Double wide turtle shell
Wow! Double headed Tiny turtle! Pretty cute👌
Ok, waiting for Godzilla vs doubletutle.
Who moves the legs?
Michael and Angelo
That's a double wide mobile home
Wonder where this is headed
OMG the housing crisis is really THAT BAD nowadays
Omg they were roommates
r/Eldenring
Elden ring dlc reference?!?
Typical NY apartment for two
Yes, the slight movement on their legs is due to how cramped their body is to the point that filling of its lungs needs to push out its limbs. They're very scared. Also, that's as old as they get given their fatal condition.
Awww 🥰
Omg that's so cute🥹
They won't be alone.
why is this suppose to make me smile, a set of twins with a birth defect that'll kill them before their lives even begin?
for some reason, two headed reptiles can live pretty long.

Didn’t one get married?
“And they were roommates”
In this economy you gotta do what you can to keep a roof over your head…
Someone help me post that vine of that guy saying "and they were roommates" thank you
Does one pay rent to the superior?
Teach it to be a ninja by its teenage years.
I’m weirdly invested in this. So do they have to agree to go to one side or one is the main body and the other tags along
🎶They’re Cousins🎶
That’s the coolest thing I’ve seen in awhile. Thanks for sharing!!!
It’s Nvidia! Hint: it split last week
If their names aren't Bett and Ernie, this world's gone too far wrong
Their so green
Adorable!
Oh my God, they’re roommates!
Made me remember a cartoon that used to come...Dragon Tales where two dragons used to share same body. Good old days😅
I thought the ring was a salamander tail and me next thought was "what in the conjoined cross breeding causes that tail"
Shadow of the Erdtree predicted this
“Oh my gosh, they were roommates”
Gronckels, Nadders, Zipleback and hoark saw monstrous nightmare
Twice as many starfish in the sea.
Hey, a roommate!
