无性生殖
Asexual reproduction has been identified in squamates in six families of lizards and one snake. In some species of squamates, a population of females is able to produce a unisexual diploid clone of the mother. This form of asexual reproduction, called parthenogenesis, occurs in several species of gecko, and is particularly widespread in the teiids (especially "Aspidocelis") and lacertids ("Lacerta"). In captivity, Komodo dragons (Varanidae) have reproduced by parthenogenesis.
