According to the seller page, the two heads eat and the turtle is currently in pristine condition. Turtles having bicephaly is an extremely rare case, and the turtle will have a very short lifespan unless they are given proper care.

The T+ albino originated from a turtle farm, just like any other albino turtles. They lean a bit more towards orange white with almost ruby dark red eyes. Seller mentions that the Female Albino T+ Common Snapping Turtle is a great item to get if you want to start breeding your own since there is very low competition on the market. According to the same page, Albinism will only occur once every 30,000 turtles.
