My son had the Reptile Roadshow at school today, this guy keeps over 200 snakes and this is what he said..
keeping the temps at 80 will produce more females
keeping them at 90 will produce males
and keeping them at 85 will give a mix of both..
has anyone else ever heard this? |

| It is true for Lizards that temperature makes a difference, but not snakes. |
