I have seen sulcata ones on the interweb/youtube, I wish there were more videos to see what they are like as they get older. Maybe they didn't live until they got older though?

That site says they can live without difficulties, either people lost interest in them or they had died. It's the internet, so who knows right?

Yeah...I'm not sure how I feel about it. I wouldn't euthanize them, because every life has a right to try to stay alive, but I guess I'd have to wait and see how they fared.

Very cool! Definitely 2 headed creatures do survive. There are humans with two heads who reach adulthood. It's a very limited form of conjoined twinning, aka Siamese twins. Not really great for any creature, but very survivable. For a tortoise in captivity it's not too bad.
