ST. LOUIS - A two-headed snake named "We," the main attraction at the World Aquarium, has died. The 8-year-old rat snake died of natural causes during the weekend, said caretaker Leonard Sonnenschein. Most two-headed snakes survive for only a week or two. "It's terrible news," Sonnenschein said. "People come in every day and say: 'I'm here to see the two-headed snake.'"
Sonnenschein said more than a million people have seen We over the years. Children were especially fascinated by the snake,

The snake had both male and female genitalia, Sonnenschein said. The World Aquarium tried unsuccessfully to breed We with another two-headed snake last year, and had planned to try again this summer, aquarium spokesman David Isserman said.
