Doubleheader - Pic!!!
Hi all! Well I thought I had better share with y'all a picture of "Dually" the 2-headed Lavender Cal-King. The little bugger hatched last weekend out of an egg that I had "pipped". I didn't think it would make it the day, but its a week later & the little one is due to shed soon. I'm not sure if it will be able to eat or not, but we'll worry about that when the time comes. As long as it keeps acting "normal" which it more or less does except that it doesn't seem to "flick" it's tounges, it will be given a chance. It reacts to what it sees & when touched. It even struck at me once! I think that both heads seem to want to control the bodies movements though & it is not very gracefull.  Anyhow here is "DUALLY" the doubleheader!

wow, the heads are attached really far up, all the pics of 2 headers ive seen are attached more at the neck. i guess Dually has no worry about one head biting the other then. good luck with him

Wow! Thats really unfathomable. Really shows the drawbacks of selective inbreeding though

That's an interesting point Zoe For the most part, inbreeding has certainly played a role in the development of such a colour phase in that Cal King, but this incomplete separation is evident in strongly genetically diverse populations. I doubt that conjoined twins in human populations are the result of inbreeding. Reptiles don't seem to experience inbreeding depression as other animals do, a selective advantage, I suppose, to being confined in small ranges.
I think it is just a developmental anomaly. But it's anyone's guess!
Cheers,
RMB

Wow...I've never seen a condition like that before. I'm glad you gave it a chance though, hopefully it will feed well.
