Each flowerpot snake is born from an unfertilized egg via "premeiotic endoreplication". She's a genetic clone of her mother. We call this 'parthenogenesis'.
And each cell in her body will have *3* copies of her genome, which is very unusual.

Convergent genomic evolution of human gut bacteria along an industrialization gradient
Analysis of globally diverse gut bacterial isolate genomes shows that host environments across the industrialization gradient shape genome remodeling and convergent selection, while industrialization is linked to increased HGT-driven gene acquisition and expanded genome size.
