Dumerils Boa Parthenogenesis

Parthenogenesis

Life finds a way.

Doctor Doom, a female Dumerils boa we've had since she was just a few months old, has never been paired with a male.

This evening she threw a partho litter. Most of the eggs were slugs, there were half a dozen stillborn, another that is alive but underformed so she probably won't make it, and this one live critter.

Her name is Miracle. Sorry for the blurry photos, she did not want to sit still.

That always amazes me when it happens. I hope miracle is strong and survives.

 

[Socratic Monologue]

Neat! Good luck with Miracle.

 

[BoaKeeper]

Thats pretty neat, i hope that the live one does well for you.

That's cool maybe she'll be partho too !!!

Angel

The underformed critter is still with us and holding her own. We've named her Angel. She is TINY. She also has a slight neck kink which can be seen in one of the photos.

 

[Randall Turner]

Oh man, hope the little one makes it. Good luck with both of them.

They're doing well and both ate last night.
