Never seen that before I guess the chances are slim to none.

Re: 2 sets of siamese twins. What are the chances?
could there have been any cleaning product/chemical or drug in the incubators/that came into contact with the eggs? Thats seems so odd that you would get two in one clutch, for it not to be environmental.
I suppose it could have been genetic as well, or just random chance, but very interesting nontheless.
If you decide you dont want them, i would contact the vet college nearest to you, they often maintain collections of oddities like this, and may be able to tell you what may have caused it (i.e. if sheep eat a certain plant during pregnancy, their lambs are almost always born with severe defects, like cyclops etc...).

We do not use any cleaning products or chemicals in or around the reptile rooms. We do not disinfect anything at all. Incubators and methods have not changed.

Siamese or conjoined twining is generally not genetic or environmental. Twinning can be genetic and I just think the odds for them getting conjoined was unfortunately in our favor.

Unfortunately, I do not feel a vet college or even a good herp vet can say what caused this.

Woah that second one looks like a sea monster. Too bad for the lizards, but it's kinda cool to study just the same.

I would put them in a sealed jar with alcohol or formaldehyde.

Too much inbreeding?

Not sure how these two things would cause twins.
