Virgin BP laid 6 eggs!

Awwww :( sorry about your eggs. Try not to beat yourself up, totally not your fault. It's amazing that she even made babies all on her own, soooo cool.

So sorry. :(

I love the parthenogenesis stories, but so many of them don't end well because, of course, the owner wasn't expecting eggs and wasn't prepared to deal with them. I hope she'll do it again and with more knowledge you'll be successful!

Some of you may remember that three years ago, my 14-year-old ball python late six eggs, four of them fertile, by way of parthenogenisis. She is now 17 years old, and is showing signs of doing this again. I will keep everyone posted!

Way to deliver OP! Lets hope this time goes better :) :gj:

Whoo! Round two!:P

Seriously though-- it would be pretty cool if your female laid another partho clutch. I haven't done too much research into the phenomena but I haven't heard of any one snake having more than one occurrence of parthenogenetic pregnancy in its lifetime, so it would be very interesting to see if this is a repeated and non-random occurrence.

Someone did say in this discussion that they hope my python lays another clutch. Do they know something?hmmm...:rolleyes:

Oooh exciting :D xx
