Snake parthenogenesis gives animal-care intern a surprise.
CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. – The Missouri Department of Conservation's (MDC) Cape Girardeau Conservation Nature Center reports a resident female yellow-bellied watersnake at the Center is likely reproducing without contribution from a male. Intern Kyle Morton, who cares for the snakes at the Center, didn't know what he was looking at when he went to clean the snake's cage one morning.
"I thought, 'what joker put tomatoes in here for the snake'," Morton said.
