I have a male pastel that has to date produced 45 offspring - all of them female. I have shared this information with a few other breeders and met with a bit of scepticism. I have heard that some men can only have daughters (only produce sperm with X chromosomes), so maybe it happens in snakes also. Anyway enjoy it. It's certainly a good way to increase the number of females in your collection.



Best of luck,

Dan
