Five eggs began to hatch on 8/13/10. Last to emerge, 8/16, died before coming all of the way out: two-headed red phase. Body looked fully developed. Not all of the egg material had been absorbed. I had a similar Texas hatchling several years ago. Mullet Fingers and Michelle of Ohio, parents, now reside in the Memphis Zoo. Two siblings are now at the Hugh Taylor Birch State Park, Fort Lauderdale, FL.

Wow!,...what a cool anomaly!. That is too bad it didn't make it. 
Birch State Park must have changed quite a bit since I was there as a kid in the 70's. I frequented that area of Ft. Lauderdale all the time back then. That is the same exact area that huge Reticulated python was found under a guy's house on June 28, 1989 that was discovered killing a raccoon, and was 20 feet long and 250 pounds!
