It would be obvious though, that it's not parthenogenisis, if you get both sexes in the litter. With partho litters, all babies are female. They are genetic clones of the mother. Not sure how he could have different morphs in a partho clutch though, they would have to explain that. But I know that when a normal snake has a partho clutch, they're all female and have identical patterns/markings that mom has. They are clones.

Again, I don't understand why all the babies weren't exactly like mother since they are supposed to her clones but if they are partho, then they're definitely all female.
