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

hi there del darren
yet again thankyou for your reply
ive been unable to find any info or studys on this what so ever either .
only the news links about them ..
i as u find it very interesting ..
and also have the same views as urself.
everythink happens for a reason in life and what will be will be ..
maybe 1 day this amazing thing will prove ever 1 wrong and live a long life as i know conjoin humans can live as 1 ..
and there are 2 sisters in the us that are still doing so today..
i think it sould be studyed more as to why this happens but even in humans there are still alot of questions that go unanswerd
sorry to waffel on ..
