This is SO INCREDIBLY COOL.
Simply amazing. I remember reading an article about parthenogenesis in my AP bio class in high school, haha.

Yeah, I've heard about it before in via constrictors and stuff. You should've seen the look on my face when I got home and actually saw the little girls. My fiancé was home, called me panicking saying she had babies. I couldn't believe it. It just amazes me. And the day before I said I don't want to breed her cause I'm not a rainbow boa person. She got me back for that comment :-)

Wow I wrote a paper on this last semester and I've heard of it in whiptail lizards, komodo dragons, and theres an article in one of my reptile magazines about a RTB who has produced two litters all by herself. So you may get another litter from her which would be crazy.
And Partho babes don't have to be female. All the babies born from a Komodo dragon who produced this way were male. Makes sense because in a single sexed environment this gives the species a fighting chance to hold on.
Very cool though. It's interesting to hear about it from someone first hand. Keep us updated!

So has there been any update? Did they confirm parthenogenesis with your beautiful babies? Just wondering And how are the babies doing?

Brewster - Do you have a copy of the Komodo paper? I'd love to read it since you said males were produced.
Foxtuning - try live pinkies left in overnight to get Tails to feed.

Unfortunately it was on a national geographic show about komodos but I could probably find something online.
