Twins
I will find a way to get a picture, damn the kids who stole my camera, damn them all to hell!
On Sunday, our albino het for patternless burmese pythons started hatching from their eggs.
One of the little guys had his head poking out of the egg, but there looked like there were bubbles still being created from inside the egg. At that time I mentioned the possibility of twins.
Today, we found 2 heads poking out of the egg. We seperated that egg and gave it it's own rubbermade,so when they emerge we know which 2 the twins are.
To confirm that it is twins, and that one hatched snake didn't crawl into anothers egg, I will have to wait till all those are done hatching and count the empty eggs vs the baby snakes, but I'm pretty sure we got twins!
Elvira (the mom) is a sister to the triplets. I will try phoning Vern today, but I do beleive he has had twins before from eggs Ally (Elvira and Triplets mother) laid.
How common is twins with burms? I'm just wondering if Elvira could be genetically predisposed to having twins in an egg.
I wasnt' planning on keeping 2 babies, but I'd kind of like to keep the twins. Of course, if there is anyone who wants to trade their digital camera for twin albino burmese pythons, email me - I really miss having a dig cam. Canon S1's or G5's accepted.
