well according to all the research that I've checked, sex determination cannot be done with snakes. With that said, I've always ran my incubator at 88.0 F. The incubator fluctuates 1/2 of a degree both ways. We have been getting about 65-70% females for the last 3 years. This was the same temps I used for burms in the past and had very similar results. Now it's not that far from the supposedly 50% that you should get so I'm not certain it is temps and you add about 5-7 days more incubation time that you can mess up the eggs but it is easier to maintain high humidity without it being wet with cooler temps too.
