Yes, as the poster below pointed out it's the female that gives the z or w to determine gender in snakes. Now maybe there is some difference in w egg cells that makes them harder to be fertilized by a pinstripe sperm? But unless others are reporting skewed pinstripe gender ratios your case is probably just random luck. 1 in 2048 isn't astronomical.
