As a Komodo dragon this time? (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20061220/ap_on_sc/virgin_dragon)
Wouldn't they be all girls though?
Virgin dragon to give birth to 7.

I wondered how hard it would be to get out of. Guess not that hard!

Oh interesting!
All the offspring produced by parthenogenesis are male which, unlike mammals, are the result of two identical sex chromosomes - in reptiles it is the females that have two different sex chromosomes. The study is published in Nature magazine.
A clutch of Sungai's eggs hatched in August 2005, two years after she had been kept with a visiting male. The zoo's keepers thought that she must have stored his sperm - a common occurrence among reptiles.
So self-fertilized dragon eggs are always male.

Makes sense to me....if female dragons have to asexually reproduce because there are insufficient males....it does not good to pop out more women =D

Well, if they can self-fertilize they don't really need males anyway. :p

If women didn't have males, who would they nag?
Panamah

Nagging doesn't require the recipient to be male. Just ask my Mom!

What kind of cruel creature are you, to nag your poor elderly mother?
