I saw on animal planet, I think, that they pretend to breed and this stimulates egg laying. All lizards are capable of this, there are many islands in the south Pacific which have only female lizards, where one pregnant female landed on a raft of vegetation, and simply reproduced asexually.
Asexual reproduction occurs in nature a lot in plants, many species of flies, and other aphids. It's going to be seen in our future more now that cloning is being practiced and other genetic experiments are being sought after for medical and biological advancements. Education in modular science with XX chromosomes is being studied with the whip tail lizards, and it may be proven that there never was a male species of whip tail lizard.
Whip tail lizard reproduces by parthenogenesis where chromosome duplication occurs after meiosis in the egg and the young ones are born as females only.
