in mammals, particularly in humans there have been cases of individuals with two different sets of DNA, it is believed that during the early stages of fertilization two fraternal twins fuse together and create one individual which is called a CHIMERA, after the greek mythological beast that was a composite of several different animals. i don't know if chimerism has been reported in reptiles. in reptile twins i would think that they have to be identical twins since they would be the result of a fertilized egg splitting in two inside the shell, but i don't know, maybe it is possible that two fertilized eggs get enclosed in the same shell, in which case it could be possible that two embrios with different genetic makeup get fused and create a chimera ; this could be the reason for a paradox....who knows?...i am sure somebody out there knows much more that i do on this.
