Cleveland Akron, OH, July 29, 2026 — A unique reptile, a two-headed crested gecko, has recently hatched at Rockstar Geckos, a breeding facility located in northeastern Pennsylvania. The gecko, named Simon and Garfunkel, was born on June 29.
This rare occurrence presents a significant challenge for survival, as two-headed reptiles often face a lower chance of thriving due to complications associated with their condition. However, reports indicate that Simon and Garfunkel is currently eating and developing, with both heads appearing to function.
Rockstar Geckos is a reptile breeding facility. Further details regarding the specific circumstances of the hatching or the long-term prognosis for Simon and Garfunkel were not immediately available.
