Rare Case of Male Snake Gives Birth to 14 Offspring Astonishes Reptile Expert

Reported 9 months ago

A male Brazilian rainbow boa named Ronaldo at City of Portsmouth College in the UK shocked caregivers by giving birth to 14 fully developed offspring through a rare case of parthenogenesis. The reptile expert Peter Quinlan, who has been raising snakes for 50 years, was amazed as this was the first time he had witnessed a male snake reproducing on its own. The baby snakes are currently being housed separately until new homes are found, providing a unique learning experience despite the mystery behind Ronaldo's virgin birth.
