So how expensive would it be to develop a commercial paternity test and could the same test work for all snake species?



If parthenogenesis is common in snakes providing such a service to breeders who want to certify the paternity of their hets could give you the inside track to lots of parthenogenic test subjects.



Even if it's not, the revenue from providing such a service could fund research into more complicated genetic issues than simple paternity testing.
