Jeannie Wilson said she was in the sunroom of her Alexander County home when she detected a foot-long child snake crawling around.
Wilson said she was stunned to see the reptile was a two-headed snake.
"I called my child in-law, who wasn't far away, and he said he'd be back," Wilson told WSOC-TV. "I'm not insane, folks. He has two heads. When he arrived, he stated, 'He does have two heads, don't he?'"
Wilson turned the snake, which she named Double Trouble, over to the Catawba Science Center, which affirmed it was a non-venomous rodent snake.
The science place, which is getting ready to return this week following a long closure in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, said the snake will have another perpetual home and will be utilized in instructive projects for youngsters.
The science community said the snake's two heads are the aftereffect of a transformation accepted to happen in one out of each 100,000 rodent snakes.
