    Uhmmm... no... in snakes, and birds, the female is the heterozygote and the male is the homozygote, opposite of mammals.

    So in snakes, the *female* determines the gender of the offspring.

    In snakes, females are the heterogametic sex, in that they have two different sex chromosomes, Z and W, while males have two Z chromosomes.
