Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Two years later, another thread asking about retained sperm reminded me of this and I wondered how the findings had gone?

Helen,
Last I spoke with Warren Booth, He had said the official results were fully partho. He had mentioned that he was working on a write up / article about the subject at some point and let me know when he had finished it ect. The past few times I have contacted him he had still not gotten to far into the process.. so as for that, Im not sure.
As for the mother, she passed away last year unfortunately. Though since she was special, and this situation will always be on one of my top moments with working with reptiles, we had her mounted and preserved, and she now rests in a display case at our facility for all visitors to see and learn about.

I'm sorry to hear the mother is no more - but the fully partho verdict is fascinating, and I think I would have preserved her too - it was certainly a unique event.
Thanks for the update!

As stated the results support facultative parthenogenesis. We are going to be including this data in a paper that also includes information on other species, including some natracines, crotalines, boids, and pythonids. A few other papers take presidence first however. But this will be suited for review soon.

Sorry to hear she passed, that is a lovely taxidermy (sorry not sure if the correct term). Thank you so much for sharing all of this info with us as it has progressed.
