I without question understand how you get gun shy, but there was no claim. It was simply a link(google Gordon) and theres a list of his papers on parthenogenesis and sperm retention.
Folks can think in some amazing ways. There an article in Reptiles where a lady raised up a female iggie, without ever having contact with a male. They said it must be sperm retention from when it was a neonate. It must have mated with other hatchling iggies. Which is fairly odd as their sexual organs are not mature at hatchling size.
