i heard about komodos doing that. its because if they get swept to sea and land on an island with not komodos they can produce eggs without a male, so thta they can re populate the island. or at least its something like that.

There are quite a few whiptail species that are all-female; I used to catch New Mexico whiptails (Cnemidophorus neomexicana) on my school lunch breaks.

Just read this thread and thought I should add that about three years ago there was an add selling baby Komodo dragons and I'm pretty sure it was in the classifieds of this forum.
I can't remember the price but it was lots of money.
