Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Too bad it's not a two headed snake! That's what I want more than anything.

They are too cute!! Maybe this is a stupid question, but is it possible for them to be identical? I don't know much about snakes, so I thought I'd ask.

I've had twin ball pythons a couple of times and twin hognoses once. The patterns were always different so I don't think they would qualify as identicle. It's still pretty cool when it happens.

identical twins?
It would be hard to tell if they are identical twins or not, in Bill Love's Corn Snake book it says twins can be identical or fraternal, he gives an example of 2 different color corns hatching from one egg so they would have to be fraternal.....

I don't think that different patterns would necessisarily mean that they're not identical. One of the first cat clones was cloned from a calico and came out looking more tortishell. In the case of these cats, pattern formation is random, so it's possible to have genetically identical cats with different patterns. I'm not sure how pattern formation works in herps...
Really cool picture btw!

Actually if you look at the inside of the egg and there is only yolk sac then you know for sure that they are "identical" regardless of pattern. In "fraternal" twinning, which is simply an error in shelling, there will always be two sacs. In identical twins there can be two sacs also, if the split happened early enough. VPI produced some JCP's years ago where identical twinning was common. Yasser Moustafa at Spitfire Reptiles ( www.spitfirereptiles.com) produced 16 hatchlings from 10 eggs in one clutch of Irian Jaya Carpets this year. I believe that they all were single yolk eggs.
