Just shows what proper care does. And it's getting better all the time. Lighting, especially UVB needs have given us a giant leap forward.

Parthenogenesis seems to be the general consensus amongst many reptile keepers.

I have seen way too many pixar movies to come to the conclusion that when no one was around at night, a male from another cage came out and snuck inside with her. Then, once morning hit, the male went back to his cage but before he did, the pair left everything the way it was so no one would notice.

I would love to see the care for that snake, including temperatures, enclosure, and food type/feeding schedule. They are obviously doing something right, and this info should be shared with the rest of us!
