2 Headed Hog!

happycamper Jun 22, 2007 03:31 PM

I hatched 10 Western Hogs at 82 degrees whiched started hatching 57 days later and one turned out to be this specimen! (No, I didn't use photoshop). It is actually more like one and a half as it has 3 eyes (2 normal on each side and one larger one in the center). The underside of it's mouth is deformed back and reminds me of a leech or carp. Sorry I didn't take a photo of that yet. It has been 2 days since it hatched. It seems weaker than the other babies. Anyone else have experience with anything like this???

Get it a good agent! (You may even want to charge for rights to the photo). Thanks for sharing.

I thought one was hatched last year by Renegade Reptiles also. It unfortunately died as soon as it hatched. Congrats hope this one makes it.

It's still alive after 6 days! And seems to be stronger from the food I gave it (forcefed)!
