Hi guys,

I just had a clutch of Diamond Python eggs hatch and was naturally surprised to:
a) see this ... (excuse photo from phone)

b) eventually learn that 20 babies emerged from 14 eggs!

Anyone else have any similar stories?

Cheers,
Nic

Wow the awesome any combined ones?

 

[junglepython2]

Wow 6 sets of twins! That would be a nice bonus. There was an olive clutch with a large number of twins as well.

I bet you scrabbled madly to set up the extra 6 enclosures for those extra little guys.

Good news mate, getting them feeding could be tricky though, keep us updated with their progress. Any pics of Mum and Dad?!

 

[killimike]

Wow, that's crazy, fully half the eggs had twins!

Congrats

Very very kewell!!

 

[syeph8]

well done mate. so how many hatchies does that equal now?

 

[pythonmum]

Wow - so many twins! I had one set in my first clutch, but didn't catch both poking heads out and didn't know there were twins until I spotted a baby snake loose in the incubator. It had escaped the egg container shortly after pipping and before I sealed it tightly. I assume the two lightest were my twins. If so, the twins were an albino and a het. If I'd had as many sets of twins as you, I would have had to quickly shop for more gear!

 

[AUSHERP]

were the twin eggs bigger or the babies smaller?

check the latest scails & tails (issue 15, january 2011) for the interview with paul (scleropages) he got 16 hatchies from 7 eggs(jungles)..
