  The snake was spotted in a Woodbridge, Virginia, resident’s backyard.   

Officials with the Virginia Wildlife Management and Control took to Facebook to share “extremely rare photos” of a two-headed copperhead snake.

The snake was spotted last week in a Woodbridge, Va. resident’s backyard, according to the department. In addition to the photos, wildlife management officials shared a video of the two-headed serpent twisting and wriggling inside a container.

Virginia being so close to D.C., it probably is employed by the government.

    Am I being paranoid again or does this not closely correspond to when @Right_in_Virginia came back?

Super-creepy.

These suckers are the reason why we can't go barefoot in October in our parts (backyard).  Cooler weather forces them out of the bramble to sun.

Yet another reason to love the Rockies...
No copperhead, no moccasin, no coral... Not even rattlers around here.
