I turned on the light    and saw this monster working its way along the wall using his claw,"    said Mrs Duan of Suining, southwest China.   Mrs Duan said she was so scared she grabbed a shoe and beat the snake to death    before preserving its body in a bottle of alcohol.    The snake – 16 inches long and the thickness of a little finger – is now being    studied at the Life Sciences Department at China's West Normal University in    Nanchang.    Snake expert Long Shuai said: "It is truly shocking but we won't know the    cause until we've conducted an autopsy."    A more common mutation among snakes is the growth of a second head, which    occurs in a similar way to the formation of Siamese twins in humans.    Such animals are often caught and preserved as lucky tokens but have very    little chance of surviving in the wild anyway, especially as the heads have    a tendency to attack each other.</blockquote>
