Parthenogenesis Day Gecko Hatchlings

Hey everyone, awhile back my female day gecko had laid eggs. Since she had not been in with any male, and no male previously, I figured the eggs weren't fertile. But, I decided to incubate them anyways. I set them up on vermiculite in a small deli cup with 2 ventilation holes and incubated between 78-84 degrees with some night time drops when lights in the cage turned off. After what seemed like forever, I looked into the deli cup and saw a hatchling day gecko crawling around. Within 24 hours, the other hatchling came out I'm my hands when I was candleing the egg. I was quite surprised and wondered if this could be true parthenogenesis?

The day geckos are set up in an enclosure with lighting and plenty of plants, vines, and cork bark and are doing great. Their colors are very nice and they're cute friendly little ones and eating and drinking adequately. I would love to here some input on this. Thank you!
