Good eye! I was thinking te same thing at first, the last twins I hatched were real small.
There has been an interesting development. Both snakes came out of the same egg but they are NOT twins?

Anyone want to try to guess how that happened?:confusd:

Congrats!

If the two snakes came from the same egg but are not identical then they are fraternal twins. Fraternal twins are twins that are not identical, they don't even have to look anything alike. So I'm a little confused as to why you are saying they are not twins, unless one hatched and then crawled into the other egg with his sibling.

Ha did he pip through one egg and make it into another and then pip through that one as well?

Looking at the picture again that might be what happened if they are not twins. The egg they pipped from looks like it's on top of another one. Maybe the baby on the bottom got through it's egg and just kept going up?

That would be my guess as well, explains why they're "normal" sized! :D

If you look at the original picture you can see there is another egg under the one with the two heads, the lower hatchling cut into the upper egg and both were emerging from the upper egg at the same time like twins would. Although you can see the lower egg you don't see any evidence that it had hatched until the upper egg eventually collapsed on it.

Congrats on twins!

Wow two heads that's awesome :)
