No you're not seeing double...

This is a 2 headed Diamondback Terrapin siamese turtle. They have a total of 6 legs - 3 each. They learned to navigate well even with the anomaly. They walk and swim just fine. They eat well and are gaining weight. They will soon be getting a ct scan to study what organs they share. This gives a whole new meaning to: two heads are better than one.
I wish I owned this turtle so I could surely win Pet of the Month.

ohh you said it plural so i thought it was a lot of them

[Fishmanic]

yeh didnt know if I should have said "it" or "them" seeing that they have 2 heads and 2 brains. I chose "them."

That's one instance where they/them pronouns will confuse no-one.

Conjoined twins are what they are called in humans. Human conjoined twins are a lot more of a handful though, i could never be next to my sister at all times in nature its a super interesting deformity, ive heard of this happening with animals like snakes too.

Their names are Larry and Ernie
I can hear Larry and Ernie arguing now: "Ernie, I want to walk over to the feeding dish....and the other one says "not if I can help it, Larry, we're going back in the water."

Everytime I saw one of these turtle in the aquarium, they always have 2 heads, not sure why it’s so common for this species.

awwww!
but of face/s only for radio going on though haha

still awesome!

Surprisingly common in Nature, but relatively unheard of, because they rarely survive long.
Most vets around the world will probably have, for example, a two-headed calf, sheep, or pig, in a pickle jar, on a shelf somewhere.
Still thought-provoking, nevertheless.
