This piece is a celebration of animals that can reproduce asexually in various ways. Under the readmore you can find a key to the species included and some information about how they reproduce.
These are very simplified definitions, if you're interested in this stuff definitely do more research and reading! The intricate details are really fascinating and specific to each animal- plants are even crazier!
Budding: a new individual develops then detaches from the parent when mature
Fragmentation: a new individual grows from a detached piece of the parent organism
Parthenogenesis: a new individual forms from an unfertilized egg
Facultative Parthenogenesis: the organism can reproduce sexually and/or asexually
Obligate Parthenogenesis: the organism can only reproduce through parthenogenesis
Gynogenesis: a form of obligate parthenogenesis that requires the presence of sperm without any actual genetic contribution
My family was staying at this resort. Then there was some sort of special ceremony where we had to cross the water but when we were crossing, a boa constrictor starting attacking me.
Kazul is such an amazingly polite snake. We have a little morning (well, 11am-noon) ritual where after she notices I鈥檝e come out and sat down on the couch, she will come out and press up against the glass with her nose and belly.
this is her signal to me that she wants the door OPENED! And so I will go over and unlatch the door and then go sit back down on the couch again. And she will poke her little head out and sit there, maybe stretch her neck so she can sniff a leaf or (in todays case) put 7-8 inches of neck out to look straight at the floor and check out what鈥檚 going on out of her usual line of sight. She鈥檒l do a lap of her tank then come back to the front and look out a little longer, until she decides she鈥檚 done and goes back into one of her hides, at which point I close the door again. she鈥檚 never once tried to escape while I鈥檓 not looking or knock things over, even if I forget it鈥檚 open and wander away to do a chore and come back an hour later to see it鈥檚 still open (oops).
Sometimes I put a drying rack in front of the tank so she can climb out if she likes, but she鈥檚 only done that 2 or 3 times ever. Mostly all she wants is to poke her head out and feel included, and is satisfied after that. when I eventually get another snake I don鈥檛 know how i鈥檒l cope if they鈥檙e a troublemaker or less well behaved.
Hello, your blog is so cool!! Could I have a dark academia outfit board for a snake (preferably either boa or viper)? Neutral or masc are both fine. Tysm!! :]
I got me a new baby IMG motley boa constrictor! His morph is relevant to this blog as it stands for increasing melanin gene. With each shed he will get darker and darker until he turns almost entirely black and iridescent! I鈥檒l be taking pictures to document the change. His name is Burnt Toast and this is in no way just me showing off my new child.
