Two headed dragons

Hi ,ive had three of these poor little buggers this year,there was two in the 2nd clutch of beardy eggs that had two heads and one body,they were dead in the eggs which looked fine but failed to hatch and there was one in the third clutch that hatched both heads out.I took this live one from the egg and it was breath and ran a little bit but it seemed quite sick so euthanised it,gives me no pleasure at all.The pic is one from the 2nd clutch which was dead inside the egg.

Nothing wrong with the incubator its just genetic,maybe its because different locals of beardys are being crossed constantly ime not sure.Have had a blotchy with two heads last year,seems to be more common with lizards than snakes,twins are not that uncommon in snakes.Hey dont let that Boa know that we cross beardy locals,theyll try and take over the market,so keep it hush hush.

Reminds me of a little girl in India, who has 4 arms and 4 legs.

She was about to undergo surgery to have plastic surgery.

The she is 2 years old.
