The fame of the two-headed turtle that Sean Casey Animal Rescue took in in 2008 lives on.
A two-headed turtle found in Florida was residing at Sean Casey’s Animal Rescue in Kensington, a Brooklyn pet store -. The rare reptile had became the store’s mascot. Casey got the two-headed turtle from a man in Florida who rescued a bunch of eggs after an adult female was killed by a car. When the turtle started to deteriorate the man turned to Sean Casey Animal Rescue (www.scarnyc .org), a nonprofit in Kensington specializing in exotic creatures. Casey nursed it back to health at home, and then brought the tank to his pet store, Hamilton Dog House on E. Third St…
Usually, such severely deformed turtles die soon after birth, but Casey says this animal could live for many years – if not to the average age of 75 to 100, but it takes special precautions to keep the oddity safe like feeding each head by hand, because otherwise they fight over the little pellets. Unfortunately the popular pet was stolen from the pet store
