Split Embryo?

So I got a 7 egg clutch a couple days ago. I candled all 7 and they all appeared to be normal, fertile eggs. Except one.

When candled, it looked like there were two embryos, one on each side, divided perfectly down the middle. Each side has a large oval area filled with veins, that is divided right down the center of the egg.

My camera doesn't take great pictures in the dark or I would post a picture.

Sound like there might be two baby snakes in one egg? or could there be something wrong?

I've seen two healthy babies come out of one egg before ... Good luck with twins!!

That's what I'm hoping for.

Coooool, :O

Can you get candling pics of it? :please:

Twins would rock. Keep us posted. :banana:

I will try later tonight or tomorrow.

YAY for Twins!!!!! Good Luck and I can't wait to see pics!

yea we need pics congrats on the eggs

Still haven't got a chance to snap a picture, of that egg anyways, due to being in the hospital the last couple days for the birth of my new baby boy. I will get a picture up soon though.

7lb 13oz and very healthy baby boy, btw. :)

WOW! Congratulations on your clutch AND your new baby!!!!:banana:

Thank you!

I may have jumped the gun on this one though. Or maybe I was seeing things that day? Candled them today to try and get a picture and couldn't find the split embryo again. All looked like normal, fertile eggs.

Oh well...we'll see what comes out in a couple months.
