How about changing your name to Deldarren or Dover Darren or something like that, as with so many Darrens
it gets confusing for oldies like me<vbg>. I know Dozy Darren<vbg>.

Hi Becks,
I've had a search on the web and couldn't find any studies on this. The twins/triplets I had are apparantly classed as conjoined as they were all attached to each other via the egg-sac, as opposed to the double yolk twins Piglet was talking about. I did read of a mature Siamese turtle in China and also of a Siamese mature turtle that was found in the wild, so undoubtedly some do survive. It's been suggested by quite a few people that it was probably best it died, though I tend to think that it was meant to be and a life is a life. Like you I'm totally fascinated by it all. I must admit it is quite exciting, the real downside is of course that the mortality rate is so high. I can post a few photos if someone would be so good as to let me know where they go. All the Best Darren |
