Yeah, that's too bad about the fused together one. I have also had hatchlings that were very deformed and fused together over the years all the way up the belly to where they folded and conjoined and looked very similar to a little girl's paper dolls. Needless to say most of these had to be humanely euthanized in the freezer, or fed to an ophiophagous king.

It is very disappointing to see, and there could be several reasons for it. Many times too high of a temp makes kinks and other deformities, but who knows exacly why it happens other times?. Just part of the breeding game I guess..*shrug*
