It this photo made Thursday, Sept. 25, 2014, a two-headed snapping turtle sits in water in Hudson, Maine. Kathleen Talbot, of Hudson, found the baby reptile earlier in the week while she was watching hatchlings cross the road to make sure they arrived safely at the other side.

A woman in Maine has come across a two-headed baby snapping turtle that was trying to cross the road.

Kathleen Talbot of Hudson tells WLBZ-TV she found the tiny creature this week while she was watching turtle hatchlings to make sure they arrived safely at the other side of the street.

She noticed one of the turtles had been left behind. It was so dirty she thought at first that it had two feet in front.

It wasn't until she got home and washed off the turtle that she realized it had two heads. The turtle fits easily into the palm of her hand.

She named it Frank and Stein.

:wow:....I wonder if it will die soon or live a "normal" life? :confused:

There's something in the water.

If raised in captivity, it should be able to live a normal life.

Shell looks to small for both heads to retract into.

Probably is, but their heads are pretty big anyway.

My daughter caught one when she was a kid that had a shell about the size of a quarter.

They grow quick and it wasn't long before it ate everything in the fish tank, including other turtles.

It finally got to the point that it was hissing and snapping at us when we fed it so had to let it go.

They are mean!

Bet it's the water from Seabrook.
