The St. Louis Zoo announced earlier this week that one of their ball pythons recently laid eggs — even though she hadn’t (https://www.facebook.com/stlzoo/posts/10157961578532917)"been with a male in over 15 years (https://www.facebook.com/stlzoo/posts/10157961578532917)!"
"On July 23, something incredible happened (https://www.facebook.com/stlzoo/posts/10157961578532917)," the Missouri zoo wrote on Facebook, noting that another facet that makes the news so thrilling is that the snake in question is "over 50 years old," making her the "oldest snake documented in a zoo."
Ball pythons usually begin laying eggs between the ages of 4-6, and stop before their sixties, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch (https://www.stltoday.com/entertainment/62-year-old-python-at-st-louis-zoo-lays-eggs-apparently-without-male-help/article_efdfd3c3-d030-5ea8-880a-5191ca851a45.html#tracking-source=home-top-story-1).
