    Odd of twins? Twins genetic? (Pics)

    I recently posted a picture of a set of twin albino ball pythons....



    Well, I wanted to post pictures of the twins and two other albinos who hatched at the same time from the same clutch. There are two eggs left to hatch, but it's been a couple days so I went ahead and cut/pipped them.

    Here are the hatched twins..



    Notice that they are a little smaller than the other two, and they appear faded.

    Now, my questions are... What are the odds of getting a set of twins in a clutch? I have researched online (not specifically regarding snakes) and read that some believe that twins may be genetic...

    Either way I was shocked and pleased to get twins in a clutch of albino eggs, and could you imagine my surprise when I cut/pipped the last two eggs?





    7 Albinos from 5 eggs! woot!
