Facultative parthenogenesis validated by DNA analyses in the green anaconda (Eunectes murinus).
In reptiles, the mode of reproduction is typically sexual. However, facultative parthenogenesis occurs in some Squamata, such as Komodo dragon (Varanus komodoensis) and Burmese python (Python bivittatus).
