Re: Something I have been wanting to hatch for a VERY long time!
Congrats on the twins!!! Our very first egg to ever hatch was twins! I'll never forget the experience and the twins will never leave our collection.
I'm not sure I have ever seen/heard of identicle twins in BP's. Do they exist? Ours were not identicle.
Can't wait to see them!

WOW your first egg?? That is crazy! I have honestly been obsessed with hatching a set of twins, haha. Just hoping hoping hoping. Every time an egg that was laid that was larger than the rest I'm always like "DAVE there is totally going to be twins in there, just you watch!" And it never happened. The ironic thing is I think this was the smallest egg of the 7-egg clutch.
As for weather or not they are identical or if it's even possible, I'm not sure! I would assume it must be possible, since it happens in humans but I could definitely be wrong. Now the wait is killing me, I just want to see them out of the egg!
My uncle suggested it could be a 2-headed snake as well  THE SUSPENSE IS KILLING ME!

What's really need with twins is when only one egg comes out and you have this nice multi-gene clutch. It's been documented that even though the one baby comes out shows on phenotype, hidden genes may exist in the snake through the sibling DNA that was absorbed. It's been documented in Carpet pythons, so its very well possible with other python species :-)
As far as identical goes, it has been documented fairly well that twins in pythons are genetically identical, but patterns may not be phenotypically identical. They will both generally be the same sex, and same morph. On the other side of the story . . . there is some evidence that suggest twins bred lead to higher chances of twins in their future clutches. While its not understood how it may or may not be heritable. It has been shown when Nick Mutton held back a pair of twins, bred them, and then I think one of their clutches ended up with a set of twins and triplets!
Congrats :-)

That is so awesome. I have 11 year old human twins, and when they get ready for their own snakes, how cool would it be if I could find twin BPs so they could each have one? Hmmmm, that just got the wheels turning in my cranium
