i just was reading my leopard gecko book
and forgot that you can use the temp to
either produce male or female, wouldnt
it be the same with snakes or has it been tryed.

do u know if it has ever been tryed
its just a thought, and they get brighter
colours if the temp is up high in the
early stages then put to normal after
just a thought.

No, lots of breeders have tried different temperatures and see no noticeable difference in the sex ratio.

From what ive been told, adjusting the temperature does cause certain 'mutations' weather that is colour, pattern or something else... Increasing the temp when incubating cornsnakes can cause kinked spines.

I personally wouldnt tamper with the temperature.
