Hahahahahahaha, a string of bad luck, maybe.



Over the years I have hatched thousands of snakes, I have never seen a bias for one sex or another, longterm. You must understand, percentages, if kingsnakes have a normal 50/50 sex ratio, then understand, thats over large numbers, not small numbers.



I have had clutches of all males, and all females, then mostly one or the other for many clutches. All in all over time, its about 50% Remember there is no absolute top limit. Heck you could get 500 males in a row,(really really bad luck) then get one female, then 500 more males(don't play the lottery) And over time have it work itself back to 50%. While this would be extremely rare, it could happen.



Now, if you can recreate your conditions and see the same result year after year, your on to something. I am just not sure you would want to be on to that something, hahahahahahahaha.



So I say, better luck next time, FR
