    Temp for male or female???

    I used to breed Leopard Geckos, and I was able to for the most part predict sex of the hatching by what temperature I incubated them at. I was wondering if the same is possible when I start breeding my BP's?

    Unfortunately it doesn't work like that for ball pythons. People have incubated at different temps and have always gotten random sex odds. Some years, you may get more females than males, or vice versa. But it is generally not related to incubation temps. It's all random genetic chance.
