Difference of sex in breeding

[Ineedtoborrowsweats]

Whats up all- I'm fairly new to the ball python world and have a few questions regarding genetics and the difference of sex in breeding. For example: Spider x Pastel = Bumblebee. Now, does the (specific) sex of either the Spider or the Pastel have any significant bearing or influence on the outcome of the clutch? Meaning, if the male is a Spider and the female is the Pastel, would this possibly yield more Bees as to if it were the other way around (male Pastel and female Spider)? Also, in this same scenario, are you more likely(in any of your years of breeding experience) to produce more of a certain type of morph (Spiders or Pastels) than others if the father and mother of the clutch were of a specific sex. I know there are a lot of variables such as "Chance/Luck," but I'm thinking that there has to be some type of Genetics Guru that has been able to figure out a way to really influence (but not guarantee, since that would be somewhat God-like) the outcome of the created morph offspring in relation to its parents' sexes. Thanks in advance.

Makes no difference whatsoever.

EDIT: Statistics have shown that it does help to have one male and one female, though......

Thanks Slim, very funny. You know, I actually saw a snip bit of show on TV the other week, can't remember if it was A&E or Discovery , but they were documenting the journey of a Pregnant man and his supposed pregnancy and labor experience. Well, I wouldn't be able to tell what eventually happened since I didn't stick around to watch, but I guess it shows that anything is possible. Maybe I'll grab another female for my female Mojave to kick it with. If no ovulation occurs at least it'll be fun for my Male Spider to watch.

The only way this would be possible is if it were a sex-linked trait. If any of the morphs were sex-linked, we'd know about it pretty quick because tons of breeders would be crying about why they always have such bad odds on hatching out said morph of a certain sex.
