Conjoined egg

Look what my girl just laid

Any ideas what's happened to this egg?

Could of been a mutation or something strange inside the dame. I'm assuming they should be fertile due to the vermiticulite. You didn't inbreed, right? That could be a possible cause. More experienced breeders will chime in but do you think it would be humane to let it hatch?

why would it be inhumane to allow the egg to hatch? a conjoined egg does not mean that the babies will also be conjoined. judging be the yellow that has already started to appear, I would bet the eggs will mold over before going to term anyways.

As I said I'm not an experience breeder so I don't know the science behind it but I figured there would be some sort of bad mutation.

My female had been mated and they are not related, this pic was taken a few hours after she laid these eggs, she had 27 including the joined egg.

Those are two separate eggs. I have had this occur a few times. They just stuck together when the clutch of eggs were laid.

The eggs are joined not just stuck together, they look like a peanut shell.

Congrats! Your having twins!!! Seriously tho they do look a lil yellowish and might not make it. But I personally would keep up the attempt.

It's going to be a long wait to find out
