I have two reginas, hatched from the same egg. The "true" definition of a twin really does not apply to amphibians laying multiple eggs (eggs being hatched into tads which morph, not an animal being born).
What I am curious of is wether there is anyone with the resources to test genetically if the "twinS" are actually from the same egg (yolk) or if there may have been two egg cases "pushed" together during the laying.
The reginas look similar but even if they were "identical, non-fraternal, twins" they would not definitively be identical due to the number of factors that effect outward appearances during the morphing period.
Anyone out there that can do some genetic testing?
From what I have read I may be one of the few froggers who have actually morphed and kept alive "twins" hatched from a single egg case.
Thoughts? Help?
Thanks
