Actually I think I know why the researchers considered the documented parthenogenesis in Burmese pythons.

I believe some insects have actually been eradicated by releasing huge numbers of sterile (from irradiation I think) lab grown males. Probably not practical to release sterile male Burms in the everglades but if the female could still produce fertile eggs it would not work anyway.
