    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?

    Re: Split Embryo?

    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.
