I am posting this for Dennis Mountain. He looked in his incubator and saw this coming out of an egg. Take a guess on what you think it is and we'll post a follow up after it emerges.

If it wasn't twins I know the name they would be getting. Hard to tell on one hand I want to say twins but on the other a two headed since you made such a post. So my answer I need more pictures lol..

they are seperate too far down the neck. Dont two headed snakes usually have the heads connected closer to the.... uh,... head?

TWINS! It would've been more challenging if the heads were only out a little, but I've never seen a two-header connected THAT far down. What do I win? LOL.

I'm guessing twins... there appear to be two long, separate necks, and it's pretty rare for a dicephalic snake to be split that far down its body.

A week ago Saturday I noticed a head poking out and later in the day when I looked through the clear top of the egg box I noticed what appeared to be another hatchling poking out of the upper right slit. I took the box out and opened it. It was another hatchling so I closed the box and went to get my camera. Well, of course, when I reopened the box the second hatchling had retracted back into the egg. I got this shot a few hours later and as you see both heads/necks were coming out of the same slit.
I just started using a digital camera so the photos are too big to post and I don't know how to reduce their size yet.
