A snakes sex is determined by chromosomes (W,Z) in the same manner that our is determined by chromosomes (X,Y).

That being said, there are some breeders out there who are certain that they can effect the sex ratios by incubation temperature manipulation.

A certain local breeder got a 1.15 ratio of a certain species. He is an extremely reliable breeder and not one to mess up that kind of stuff. You mathmaticians can do the calculating and tell us the odds of getting 15 females out of 16 eggs in a single clutch with chromosomes being the determining factor (50/50 chance of being male or female with each egg).

Indigos incubated at lower temps take a little longer, but do fine.

>>Are ant snakes sex determined by incubation temps or is it only for leopard geckos? Other question, Indigos incubated at lower temps will they evolve healthy just slower or is it a serious problem? Just curious...
