Ok so I germinated my Jack the Ripper bean yesterday and once it popped, there were two white root tips poking out.View attachment 1236025 I have read somewhere on this website or another that some beans came be Siamese meaning they sprout two plants. I herd that JTR's have a tendency to sometimes sprout two plants one will probably die off or I could split them. If anyone could help me out it would be great thanks.

Just plant it, and split it later if possible. If not, no big deal. It's not like you paid for 2 seeds anyway.
If you try to split it right now you risk damaging the root tip and losing both.

That doesn't even look like 2 root tips to me but you may be right.

Yep i had the same thing with my JTR's, just plant it. I waited untill they were about a weak old and just gently pulled the smaller of the twins straIght up, out of the soil and transplanted it to it's own pot. It was kind of stunted and weak looking for a while but it's cought right up to the rest now and actually looks better than it's bigger twin.
