Wow what an amazing story! This is one of the few thread this long that I read from beginning to end! I have to admit I had to take a break to look up Parthenogenesis, and I found the following post. http://forum.kingsnake.com/ball/messages/74370.html

If anyone is interested. I am curious as to where you are at in SW Ohio. I live in Erlanger KY myself. Did anyone that studies pathenogenesis ever contact you?

I am sorry to hear about your mother, and Bugsy.
