First triplet snake embryos found in wild Burmese python's eggs

Scientists found twin and triplet embryos inside two eggs laid by a radio-tagged wild Burmese python in Florida's Big Cypress National Preserve, the first recorded case of triplet embryos in a snake. The female laid 37 eggs in May 2024; 32 hatched normally, while two non-viable eggs held five dead embryos, according to a study in Ecology and Evolution.
