    Hes absolutely right. I wish I could remember which zoo but there is one that has a burmese which has laid fertile eggs which hatched. More than once too. This snake is a long time resident of the zoo and was never with a male. The babies were tested and found to be genetic duplicates (clones) of the mother. It was thought that only certain lizards could do this.

    Nature will always find a way

    Found an old thread on here about it!
