I seen several people post they had twins in ball pythons. Are these ever identical in there patern? or just similar looking? has anyone hatchted two diff morphs in one egg? example a pastel baby with a normal baby?

I see the post below with the butter and normal hatching in the same egg.

You made a good point about identical twins, however. I would suspect identical twins are more rare than two different morphs would be. I'd love to see identical twin Ball Pythons though

Maybe the pattern genes for snakes are like those of cats...they are always different.
You can clone a cat...make an identical genetic copy of it, and the pattern on the clone can look NOTHING like the original.
I read about it for a bio project on cloning.

I think the patterns for identical twins will never be the same. It is like fingerprints, they are different even in human twins. Identical twins will be the same morph and gender but different patterns.
