Got twins today, both full pinstripes but they are half the size of a normal crested and can barely walk so I'm not expecting them to live long:-x

Cool man. Do not give up on them yet, I had one last year that was tiny but while a slow grower did fine. It was not moving very well at first either.

**Fingers Crossed** Twins are smaller- no room to grow in that tiny egg. They may need some "incubation time" outside the egg!

Not really. I sold a female to a friend that hatched twins last month at 2 grams each.;)

I'm going to do what I can for them. maybe drop some cgd on their nose in a few days and see if they will lick it off.
These were my first full pin hatchlings so I really want to keep them alive

They're so cute. Are their toes stuck together or did they not form? I can't tell from the pics but I'm sending good vibes your way that they make it for you!

The biggest worry with premature hatchlings of any kind is that they didn't absorb enough of the calcium from the shell through their development. Hopefully they've got enough in their systems so that by the time they need to be introduced to food, they don't suffer a calcium crash.
The little ones are in my prayers.

I will keep my fingers crossed for them :)
Oh man I hope they make it. I've always wanted twins from my geckos but that would suck something terrible for them to die.
Those two are so amazing too, I hope they pull through.

Well you know what you have to do! They're very nice animals and with some extra attention they should pull through just fine. I wish you nothing but good luck with these twins.

Wondering if they got their shed off? That would be the first hurtle for them. Hope they are well!

The first one died the day after hatching. I got the shed off the other one and was dropping cgd on it's nose every morning but it died a few days after the other one.

Thanks.
I tried and thought the second one may have a chance but the way they looked out of the egg, I was expecting them to go fast.

They didnt make it. Were way too thin out of the egg and in bad shape from the start.
