Gold Member Username: RovinTrinidad & T... Post Number: 5062 Registered: Jul-05 | usually those freaks of nature don't live a full lifespan - saw stuff like that on tv . Earlier this yr online some fisherman caught a fish (bass i think) & it had 2 mouths ! .... Just last night on 'Dirty Jobs' on discovery ,i saw that Albino alligators are born sometimes too , due 2 recessive gene . BTW Marshall - do ur family raise small turtles 2 sell 2 pet shops or something ? ..... |
Gold Member Username: SouthernrebelMonroe, Louisiana USA Post Number: 1904 Registered: Mar-04 | yea...we are one of the largest farms in the world. (there are only like 75 world wide) ~35 of those are right around where i live...Catahoula and Concordia parish (louisiana) we cant sell them in the US though...it is illegal to sell a turtle under 4" across in the US. we sell them to Asia mainly. we usually get a 2-headed turtle about every 2 years...so it is LITERALLY a 1 in a 1,000,000 thing. |

Gold Member Username: SouthernrebelMonroe, Louisiana USA Post Number: 1908 Registered: Mar-04 | lol...yea, i could drag the host out in the lake by the house to get water hyacinth to feed the turtles. we wade out into lakes around here to get it...we feed it by the 16ft trailor load. and he could help unload fish trash to feed em (barrels and barrels of fish guts ![]() i thought about it...i might send them a video of the farm this summer. maybe they will come...lol ---oh yea, about the gator farm thing...my uncle used to do that...bout 3 miles from my house. |

Silver Member Username: RideredderCornell, IL USA Post Number: 181 Registered: Sep-05 | My dad and grandpa used to raise pigs, and they had a two-headed baby pig. It had two mouths and two noses, but it only had three eyes, with one right in the middle of its forehead. It didn't live for more than a month. My dads cousin is a taxadermist so they had it stuffed. If I can get a picture of it, i'll post it on here. |

Gold Member Username: SouthernrebelMonroe, Louisiana USA Post Number: 1914 Registered: Mar-04 | the hurricane didnt really affect our farm...we are in jonesville, louisiana, kinda in central louisiana...on the eastern side. (like 30miles west of natchez, mississippi) all that really happened to our ponds was a few trees down and alot of rain. one tree fell on one of our fences around one of the ponds...and we had a someplaces in the oldest pond caved in. we lost power for a day or two, but we had a generator...all in all it wasnt that bad. |
