I had a clutch of jungles that had 4 sets of identical twins and one set of identical triplets.

Twinning is fairly common in carpets, multiple sets in one clutch is not common.

I am only aware of 4 occurences of triplets and in every case some of the babies died. In my clutch one of the triplets became tangled in the umbilicus and strangled itself while trying to leave the egg. The other two are fine, with one of the being extemely small. In fact even after eating over 20 meals it is still a little smaller than a normal hatchling carpet.
