TWINS! Two babies hatching from the same egg!

I don't know how often this happens, but from what I've read it's fairly rare. And just really cool anyway! I love this! My Zaria decided to lay a small clutch and though they shouldn't have been fertile, I put them in the incubator anyway, just in case. And I'm so glad I did! I had 5 babies hatch out over night last night and throughout the day, with 8 eggs remaining. Went in to check it just now and there are 2 baby heads poking out of the same egg!

two heads

Wow didnt even know that was possible, thanks for sharing the pics. These little guys all doing ok? Do you plan on keeping the twins?

They're all doing great so far. The only one I had any issues with was a premie hatchling from her first clutch born with the took sac still attached, and he's almost 4 months old now and doing great!
I'm not sure if I'll keep them, though I want to, but I'm running out of room lol! I have 2 adults, a 10 month old juvi, plus little Trooper the premie. I may have to make more room for these 2 though. I just think it is really cool, and if I did get rid of them, they would have to go together

I agree! They can not be separated! That is really cool. Yes it does sound like you have your hands full. Beardies are the best pets, I wish I could have a whole house full, but not gonna happen. I don't have the time needed for more beardies.... But if I did I would be begging for two wittle twins lol....
