A case has been documented of a Komodo dragon reproducing via sexual reproduction after a known parthenogenetic event, highlighting that these cases of parthenogenesis are reproductive accidents, rather than adaptive, facultative parthenogenesis.

These cases are, however, examples of accidental parthenogenesis, given the frequency of asexually produced eggs and their hatching rates are extremely low, in contrast to true facultative parthenogenesis where the majority of asexually produced eggs hatch.

Parthenogenesis is a natural form of reproduction in which growth and development of embryos occur without fertilization . " Agkistrodon contortrix " ( copperhead ) and " Agkistrodon piscivorus " ( cotton mouth ) can reproduce by facultative parthenogenesis.
