Two headed tortoise? More like two tortoises in one and a half shells

I'm hoping this site comes through. My sister had just sent this to me about a two headed tortoise, but I didn't realize that it's more like two tortoises in one. It does look to be in very good shape.

I've seen online a RES with two heads. but also heard that it would be difficult to care for. These looks not too bad like a siamese tortoise.

It's like having two torts .. but just one poop! haha

Looks like there's some pyramiding. By his own claim "they're" not doing well and vets had advised him to euthanize the animal. But he's getting them surgically seperated. It would seem that surgical seperation means that only one of them lives. Will be interesting to see how that works out.

There was a two headed greek that was on display in 2007 at 10 years old. I'm not sure whether its still alive.
