A two-headed snake found in Stone County in 2017 is being celebrated with a Birthday Bash this weekend.

The Shepherd of the Hills Conservation Center in Branson will host the event Saturday morning from 10 to 12 for Tiger and Lily, the two-headed Rat Snake that was discovered around Hurley and has been kept at the conservation center since then.

Several events will take place in conjunction with the event for kids and adults alike. The event is free and open to the public. Masks and social distancing are strongly encouraged according to a release from the Missouri Department of Conservation, which also states that there will be a limit to the amount of visitors allowed inside at the exhibit at one time due to social distancing guidelines.

More information on the event can be found at the Missouri Department of Conservation Website.
