Just thought I'd share in case you didn't see it in the Pituophis forum: Terry Vandeventer has repeated results demonstrating temperature-controlled sex ratios when incubating eggs of Pituophis ruthveni.
Incubation of 82 deg F: around 50/50
Incubation of 79-81 deg F: higher female ratio
Incubation of 84 deg: higher male ratio
Very interesting results, especially since they can be repeated. This just opens up the possibility of this kind of thing going on in other species. ----- Mark
