This baby just “hatched” today, but did not make it out of the egg. The sibling hatched last week, and this egg was not particularly larger, so I was surprised to see this for my first twin gecko.
This is interesting, another user, @ghoulishcresties had something similar happen.
Conjoined twins (Cresties) blurred
Thanks for sharing! Whats interesting is that this one was so very close to splitting the zygotes completely. It looks like all the limbs were formed, arms are tucked very close together and under the side of the ribcage. The double eye is SO trippy.
Poor thing. I wonder if genetics have anything to do with it out of it really is just random.
Sorry this happened to you
Mine was Corpse x Zombie, a pinstripe and a Superstripe.
The clutch mate to mine was a big ol 3g girl all healthy and happy
These things happen unfortunately.
There was one not long ago also on fb someone sent. Alive and eating well too!
I guess it depends what organs are conjoined as to survival rate.
The parents for mine are Dread Gecko Roberts (“Dread”) and Darth Gecko (Female “Darth”). These are my husbands geckos, he’s unique with his names.
They have produced a number of healthy babies for two years.
so it appears to be random rather
Very cute cresties. the last one is so dark
Yeah hes our favorite.
I can’t see why, I love dark based Cresties and his dorsal is amazing too. I’m also a big fan of pinstripes.
Looks like something out of the Hellraiser movies…
