Woma sex ratios

[JasonL]

There's always the chance you just fluked males, they probed weird, otherwise you've got a man-loving male (genetically; he can't help it ).

Maybe I should not of sharpened my probe to a point for easy penetration :shock: :lol:

I am well aware that genetics is very much more than likely the reason, and this interests me, I now want to breed with that particular male more (instead of using another male), to see what his future ratio's are with this particular female (who in the past produced more females with another male) and other females...

well I saved one woma from the second clutch.... male, and the first one hatched from the third clutch....male.... seems my male has a boosted testosterone level!

Slip some estrogen tabs into his rats

I'm going to feed him less red meat and more tofu and mung beans...

Interesting stuff. Rick are these female olive python hatchlings out of the same pairing both years? What is the origin/ captive lineage of the parent snakes, have they experienced a genetic bottleneck in captivity, any relatedness?
