Triplets Found in a Single Egg! (Cedric x Geralt Clutch)

We had a stunning and heartbreaking discovery today while checking the last eggs from our Cedric x Geralt clutch. It’s a powerful reminder that breeding animals isn’t always sunshine and rainbows.
We found one egg with the tell-tale bad smell.

When we opened it up, we were completely floored: THREE fully formed baby Carpet Pythons were inside!😲 Triplet Pythons in a Standard Egg!

We regularly find twins, but triplets are incredibly rare, even though we know they've been documented occasionally.

What makes this finding even more dramatic? The egg was the same size as all the others in the clutch. A standard egg somehow managed to sustain three separate lives almost to term!

The Difficult Reality of Loss 💔
Sadly, all three babies were deceased.
Simple biology is why: a standard egg just doesn't contain the massive amount of yolk (nutrients) or space needed for three pythons to complete development and hatch. They essentially ran out of resources at the finish line.

This is the challenging side of breeding. Things like this happen. You experience beautiful successes, but you also deal with tragedy and loss. It requires emotional resilience and an understanding that every outcome, positive or negative, is part of the process.

Breeding animals is not for everyone. It takes commitment, knowledge, and the ability to handle difficult moments like this.
We wanted to share this difficult lesson openly. Sending good vibes to all the dedicated keepers out there!

Gone!

Nearly 2 year old Brown tree snakes

The brighter one is Rocket and the darker one is Groot. Both looking for a new adventure/s.

Decided to part ways with these guys. They are SUPER cool, but I feel like they can be enjoyed more in someone else's collection.

Both have attitudes but have never bitten me.

Darker one is in the comments

No idea on sexes.

Pm for more info!

🐢 Honeymoon Highlight:
During our amazing February honeymoon in Japan, I got to live out a dream: patting these gorgeous Tortoises! ❤️
Since we can't have these precious gentle souls back home in Australia, I became the happiest (and most reluctant to leave) tortoise-patter in all of Japan! This moment made the whole honeymoon extra special. 🥹

I love this lizard 🦎 Fralon the Green Tree Monitor 💚

That pattern, though! 🤯
Seriously obsessed with this 'mystery morph' ghost. She's called "Mystic" for a reason! She's a living piece of art and straight out of a dream. Absolutely flawless.
So proud of this girl from our Aurora x Geralt pairing! 💖

You know those moments when the light just hits perfectly? ✨ That's Nyx, every single time. Just trying to capture that incredible, oil-slick iridescence.
How can something be so dark and yet so full of color all at once? My camera can't even handle all this glory! Absolute beauty. 🖤
