I brought Nactus pelagicus back from New Caledonia where they are very plentiful. We found no males. Most of the islands in the area are parthenogenic and need no males. BUT you must have more than one for them to pseudocopulate and then both females should have eggs. I only found one calcified egg at a time in one spot. Any eggs that I found on their side never hatched but if the small end of the egg was pointed upwards, they would hatch. You can keep the babies with the adults without worries. They are also found in New Guinea and if my memory serves me well, the Solomons. Which might be where they are coming in from. Who has these available? I would like to obtain them once again.
Parthenogenesis is not all that uncommon in lizards. It is found in the Cnemidophorus sp., Blau blau tiied, Kentropyx borckiana tiied, Central American Night Lizards Lepidophyma flavimaculatum as well as in others. What makes the last ones so fun to have is that they bear two live young.
