We already established last week that it happens to everyone who ever breeds BPs, except me and Jay Martin.

On a serious note, every BP from the same clutch is technically a twin...Siblings born (hatched) in the same "reproductive event". And don't let the multiple paternity thing throw you...there are plenty examples of "twins" in humans who have different dads.

AS far as we know, there have been no "identical" twin BPs. I guess its possible that the events that lead to pattern formation a somewhat removed from actual genetics. IN other words, some "Twins" may actually be identical even though they may not have an identical pattern. If I'm not mistaken, human twins have the same DNA but different fingerprints, etc.
