-VIDEO SERIES- documenting PARTHENOGENESIS "virgin birth" of Mr. Lund's Ball Python.

[DerrickRyan]

Parthenogenesis is a mode of asexual reproduction in which offspring are produced by females without the genetic contribution of a male.

I was lucky enough to stumble across a science professor by the name of Mr.Lund who's average ball python, preformed an extraordinary act.

Maybe you've read an article, or heard about it from a friend.
BUT, have you ever seen a video series documenting a case of ball python parthenogenesis every step of the way?

Mr. Lund's series currently consist of 10 episodes, I must warn you, this roller coaster has major ups and downs.

No one on YouTube would ever give false information for views...

What views? He barely has any. Take a look at his other content, does he look like the type of person who would do that sort of thing?

Did you even bother to watch the videos?

Well the first 2 mins were pretty boring and with misinformation.

Talking about female egg production in general when paired with a male

so it happen sometimes that they lay one slug, or a clutch of good eggs and one slug but all slugs are rare and unheard off

.....WRONG female slug out and it's far from being uncommon.

Overall I had to watch because I need to make sure it does not violates TOS but it's pretty boring I could not imagine having to watch 9 more.

Parthenogenesis while rare can be explained in a 10 min video from egg discovery to hatching.

The fact that he totally skipped over the entire body of Dr. Booth's work on parth but instead cited an obscure paper from an even more obscure publication was the point where I officially turned off...

FWIW, years ago I took in an unwanted rosy boa from a nature museum who had in the past "freaked out the staff" when she dropped a bunch of slugs, & who then
went on to do the same thing with me several months later, with the exception that for me she included one live imperfect neonate that lived about 6 mos.- & which
had apparently been produced by parthenogenesis.

This thread caught my eye but I didn't have time to watch it yet...thanks to those who saved me the trouble.
