    Egg Oddity
    So my female ball python laid 11 eggs yesterday and they all look great with the possible exception of two that are quite different. The two are conjoined. I have never seen this in my limited breeding experience and haven't seen any pictures of it happening to anyone else either. The eggs are connected by about 1/2 an inch and are rounder than usual. Other than the bit that's conjoined being a little dark the eggs are typical color and texture. If I can figure out how to post my picture of it I will. Does anybody know what the chances are of one or both of these eggs surviving through incubation?

    not to be negative.
    I saw one picture and story of conjoined eggs.
    One was infertile though.
    And both didn't survive

    But maybe if both are fertile.
    Best of luck to you.
    But yes pictures! That would help alot

    if you mean that they are connected like sausage links then they should be fine as long as they are fertile.

    I wonder if there are blood vessels connecting the two eggs? Have you tried to candle them?
