Our Hognose Snakes had TWINS!!!

2020 has been a rollercoaster of a year. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw two adorable little hognose faces poking out of the same egg! Ahhhh!!
Update: Both of the twins are doing great! They started eating right away (full mouse pinkies- even the smaller twin!) and will be so much fun to watch grow!

[@thegirlsrock9533]

Identical twins can have still noticeable differences if they experience a different development in the egg! The bigger one had a chance to grow a little more, so as he grew his pattern kept going a little more and he's got that extra dot! Different genes of yours will "switch on" depending on your environment, which is pretty cool. You can have the same genes but your environment can change how they are expressed. Also they're all so cute

Identical twins often have small differences, like freckles in humans or spots in hognoses, due to epigenetic changes... Basically, variations of expression that can occur with the same genetic sequence :) My favorite was the baby with the white background! Reminds me a bit of an arctic, though he clearly wasn't one.

[@starclaws3716]

Hey, I think you might have had a second pair of twins in the set. The enormous albino egg had a baby three quarters out the first time (probably too much to suck back in) and the egg was super filled. The next time we see this egg another head is sticking out, and the egg is much less full. So, twin albinos and twin normals! Keep those snakes together and the amount of twins may become more.

The shots you had could make the most amazing photography stills, just amazing, heads out of eggs, and the twins, I'm in it for the little guy. To have eggs that don't do well, and this produces 2 amazing healthy snakes, brings you joy. Anyway, I got distracted with your question, this is mine. You know the moment when you are spending time with your animal friends and family, and you see something, for example the cutest head poking out, your heart bursts with joy and you talk to them in your signature voice, you can't help it. Well, I love seeing the moments this happens with you two, and one of your signature words is, and I'm trying to spell like the sound, it's mwahhh. I love this version of plain old ahhhh, but then you hear you two have the same mwahhh, I wondered who did that come with, who was the original mwahhh-er, and who had the adorable copy and sync with your partner, it's brilliant???

[@TPishek]

Regarding the twins’ slightly differing patterns: I’m not an expert and I don’t know if this is the case in snakes, but in some mammals pigment expression can be slightly different even in identical twins. Years ago I had a conversation with a veterinarian about pinto horses in particular and he said that even cloned horses will have slightly different patterns because it’s mostly genetic but also partially random chance in the exact way the signaling molecules disperse through the fetus. So if that’s also true in snakes, it’s entirely possible that they are identical twins just with slightly different pattern expressions!

[@attacatz8945]

Some great input! Love learning new things~ =w=

[@mirandawof]

That kinda makes sense. *Kinda*

[@blazertundra]

Exactly what I was thinking. I remember reading about a cloning experiment with a calico cat to observe the effects of gene expression. Her clone had a completely different pattern and was very different in personality. I noticed the snakes had an identical head stamp, which tells me they're probably identical twins. The rest of the patterning is probably controlled by gene expression and that's why it's different.

[@alisonvoshell8355]

Fascinating!

[@rosetiller8336]

This is cool science, which the commenter Rachel Hornak mentioned to me too! I had theorized they could be semi-identical, but I don't know as much about snake genetics as I do human genetics. It's pretty awesome to learn.

'who said Christmas is the best time of the year? It's June!' Me: but it's August...

[@acgraphics1139]

I was wondering about that 😂

[@GoodGayy]

They post old vids sometimes so this one was recorded in June or around the time

[@Dandylion567]

They film a lot of content in advance. They were showing egg laying videos in June that were from March, for example. You can look at the dates on the lids of the containers to see just how long ago the eggs were laid.

[@keqing292]

Ye the videos are prerecorded

[@Sammydodger45]

Tbh, because of quarantine, it could be October rn and I wouldn’t relish, I don’t even know what day it is!

[@quinnpack8530]

I was giggling everytime you guys said " Weave grown a cheese curd" every single time😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@brandyfyffe8637]

Have you ever noticed that none of the babies ever play dead or make their mouths bleed? The babies are so cute! I actually will visit one day😊

Hi Ed and Emily! I heard you guys wondering about the twins not being exactly identical which mean they could be fraternal, but technically all the babies are fraternal. What I think could be going on there is semi-identical twins. What this means is that the babies had the same cell from the mother, but different cells from the father. So essentially the egg was fertilized twice and the mom's cell split. So they would be identical on the Mother's side and Fraternal on the Father's side. It's an exceedingly rare occurrence and there are only seven currently recognised sets of human twins who are semi-identical last I heard. Or I could just be wrong and one just has an extra brown spot due to something in development. Either way, they're all adorable!

[@narissekaneldth2124]

So much science! I could never remember all that

[@SmexyMinion]

me: i aint reading all of that also me: but its a cool fact mabe i will youtube: YOU SHALL NOT READ THAT TOO MUCH KNOLAGE -plays next video- me: goes back to vid just to read the coment and lemme try to type that the exact same way as you Hi Ed and Emily! I heard you guys wondering about the twins not being exactly identical which mean they could be fraternal, but technically all the babies are fraternal.

Just want to add to the genetics conversation that pattern genetics is not strictly Mendelian and have only been shown to have ~.56-.79 heritability in some population of snakes and reptiles. There has also been some evidence of embryonic stage interacting with genetics to influence final pattern/colour. I bring up all this to say that twin snakes can have different patterns to each other due to environmental influences and epigenetics. For a slightly stretched example (in terms of species) when they began cloning dairy cows scientists found that the clone and original would have different black and white patterns because that trait is influenced by environmental factors. TLDR: They can be identical twins and have different patterns because phenotype = genotype + environment

[@sparrowthesparrow]

So to simplify your point: Super rare adorable sneks- give much care & boops - make sure they are much loved :3

[@blazertundra]

I'm inclined to think they're true identical twins because they have identical head stamps. A cloning experiment in calico cats found that gene expression controls the spotting. There was a pretty stark example of a clone who had almost no orange coming from a cat with a lot of orange in her coat. If the same thing holds true in snakes, that's probably why the twins are very similar but slightly different in spotting.

All of the dislikes are from people blinded by the cuteness and accidentally clicked the wrong button. Love y’all! 😊 Edit: You guys should totally set up a live cam for the egg clutches while they are incubating so we can watch them hatch in real time! Same thing with Rex! That would be so cool! 😊

I feel like it must be the weirdest experience on Earth to just be hanging out in your egg, never experiencing anything outside of your goop, and suddenly something pokes you.

Ive never seen baby snakes before! They just look miniature adult snakes lmao. Idk what I expected but this is really cutee
