No, it definately has affected males and i've lost males to DPS.
I'd like to think that my aviaires are suitable enough. I've never felt that they get too warm but one problem with my aviaries is that they have colorbond sheeted roofs. This tends to hold heat in, whereas a roof made of chicken wire will allow heat to escape.
But still, you'd think that any reptile would have evolved to handle the temperature extremes typical of the area they live in. Who knows....
