One of the things that really bothered me when I first read this is that they stuck to their bureaucratic rules and didn't let the eggs hatch. Sure they did the testing that should have been conclusive that the eggs where viable clones of mom but seems like they should have tried to hatch a few in the name of science. Suppose we�ll need a lot more readily available genetic testing to see if this happens with any frequency in captive pythons. I�ve read that paternity tests are even available for some fish. Seems like a paternity test would be a useful tool for python breeders if inexpensive and could identify candidates for further testing if parthenogenesis is happening regularly.
