conjoined pardalis babies

[DeremensisBlue]

Just had these two poor souls hatch. They were joined at the hip and shared a cloaca and tail. Both sides were alive and grasping and climbing, but neither side ever opened their eyes. They lived for three days.

Whoa!!! That is amazing and sad at the same time...

That's sad ... I can understand how it feels knowing there's nothing you can do but wait til they pass on . Poor little things .

 

[Angsty]

that amazes me, so sad that that can happen, they almost look like a heart

 

[Lathelia]

Sweet and sad...

Wow. I had two pairs of twin pardalis hatch out of the same clutch 20 years ago but never conjoined. Did they hatch on their own or need assistance? Any more eggs left to hatch in the clutch?

 

[Olimpia]

Poor things but super interesting. It's amazing how well their dorsal lines join up and keep going as one down their tail.

were they in one egg or two?? My female faly laid a clutch in july that had to eggs fused together and another that was 3 eggs joined at the tips. I have wondered ever since if they will be joined. it scares the crap out of me but they look like whole eggs just fused at the tip. the 3 eggs together molded over after 2 months but I still have 2 pairs of 2 joined eggs.

Thats so neat! I've heard of babies hatching out as twins and about some that had one body and two heads before. I cant find that thread, but i found this one where the babies were joined at the rear and never made it all the way out.

Bill that is so sad. I agree it would be fascinating, but I still hope never to see it. Hope all the others hatch well.

When do you have quads hatching? I need a baby fix. Seeing them always helps.

All eggs (25) hatched on their own. This one pipped the egg, but could not make it out on its own so I helped it.

The egg had all appearances of being normal.
