    Hey, I seen some snakes like that, but the fork was at the other end! LOL Someone always has to be a funny guy!

    Thats cool! Never seen one like that yet.

    Is that from the tail not coming completely off, then the new one regenerates, where the wound is. Or are they born that way. Ever see young ones like that?

    Kevin, it is caused by regeneration and probably from the way it was broken off. There was a post on FHF that showed other salamanders and lizards with the same fork regeneration.
