Post shed TWINS!

Here are the two little girls in the fresh skin. They weigh in at a whopping 22 grams apiece. They are in the pic with one of there brothers for size comparison.

Don't wanna sound like a noob here, but I'm just wondering, the only thing that makes them twins is that they came from the same egg right? They don't have the exact same pattern or anything like that do they?

Good Question. Im Rather Interested Myself...

Oh my, those are the absolute epitomy of cuteness! :love: All of my babies came in around 65g, so I can't even imagine how teeny they are. AWWW!!!! Thank you so much for posting that pic Tim.

Yes, the reason that they are twins is because they came from the same egg. Similar to our fraternal twins as opposed to identical.

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh cuteness factor overload!

So in order to be fraternal twins, the eggshell would in fact have had to contain two separate eggs, each with their own yolk, correct? Kinda like a double-yolked hen's egg?

They look great, congrats and thanks for posting that! :)

SQWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKK!!! :oops:

Yes, I believe so.

Now those are 2 hot twins :cool: .Gotta love the reduced patterns

Thanks for all of the replies guys and Gals.

Christie,
I'll take another pic today of them in Monica's hand, and it will give you a better size reference.

Christie,
Here is a better size comparison pic that I took tonight. I had Monica put both of them in her hand. They really look tiny in this pic.

Awwww they are so tiny! The smallest ball python I've ever handled was about 45 grams and I thought that was tiny. How sweet they are! I vote you name them "Itsy" and "Bitsy" :)

No problem Christie that is what I am here for.

And I think Itsy and Bitsy are great names for them.

Ohmygoodness! They are just unbearably cute!! And I think Itsy and Bitsy are perfect names!! :clap:

LOL thanks Monica, I'm glad you liked the names. What a darling little pair of female snakes.

Those little ones are SO CUTE! I can't even imagine having them on the palm of my hand. :D Congrats on those little darlings!

Cute twins guys! I think Itsy and Bitsy are great names for them! Have they started eating for you yet?

Jo,
I guess since Monica has now seen your idea for names, I guess my idea (Ping and Pong) may be right out the window.

Celia,
I tried to feed them some small mice I got from you guys on Saturday, but they didn't eat yet. They just shed on Friday, so it might take them a couple more days.

has there ever been an account of identical twin bp's that anyone knows of? that would be pretty awesome

congrats on the lil gals
