Two-headed turtle Thelma and Louise get their own Facebook page

So many people are curious about Thelma and Louise, the female turtle born with two heads at the San Antonio Zoo last month, that the zoo launched an official Facebook page for fans who want updates and photos about the quirky reptile.

?We get inquires from people wanting to know how they're doing,? said zoo spokeswoman Debbie Rios-Vanskike, who still fields calls and emails from around the world about the two-headed Texas cooter.

The Facebook page offered an easy way to share how Thelma and Louise are developing, she said, and it will offer updates about the plight of other tortoise and turtle species. The zoo also set up pages for ?Louise Left Head? and ?Thelma Right Head.?

While uncommon, two-headed turtles occasionally hatch as a result of twin embryos that didn't fully separate. So far, it appears that Thelma and Louise, born on June 18, are completely healthy.

?They are doing amazing,? Rios-Vanskike said. ?They're eating. They're getting along. They're swimming together. There are no signs that there's anything wrong with them.?

The zoo employees who run the page are also having fun with it. Thelma and Louise are listed as a single female who attended the ?University of Turtledome.?

Favorite bands include Selena, Lyle Lovett and the Turtles. Duh.
