I hear ya! I've got a pair of Thomas Co., NE multistrata that have produced an entire 3 males for me over the years! Many females, few males. While some hobbyists suggest that you can skew the sex ratios of milks, kings, corns, etc. by altering incubation temperatures, I strongly disagree. Most Colubrids, and the Lampropeltini clade included, have identifiable sex chromosomes, just like we do (though they use a different system - the ZW system). Pretty interesting stuff.
Regardless of the sex ratio, you've produced some nice hatchlings! Congrats!
