Strange and Unusual things...

This week we have had the strangest baby crested gecko hatch out, well baby geckos - conjoined twins! Smeagol and Gollum. They pipped early this morning, but by late evening there was no progress. I gently manoeuvred the egg and then candled it but there was no sign of life so I went ahead and opened it up. 

They have one head, three eyes, seven arms, two tails and two twisted conjoined bodies.

I wasn’t sure if I should post this but the scientist in me couldn’t not!

Like all conjoined twins there is no cause, no reason for it, its just the luck of the draw. 

I’m very glad they were DOA as I’d hate to think of them suffering, I mean there is no way they could have survived as they are - but at the same time ...

LOOK AT THE COOL THING!!!!!
