Pretty cool article. I was impressed by the fact that 2.5-5% of clutches are parthenogenetic. It's also interesting that one hypothesis was that, since parthenogenetic offspring of snakes will be male, the condition could be a way to rebuild a population through mother/son breeding. The thought had crossed my mind when reading the first part of the article and was confirmed when I read it in the article. Enjoy!
