    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I have a question about incubating BP eggs. My question is.... Does the temperature at all swing the sex of the egg? Do lower temps in the correct range create more males or females or vice versa? I have had eggs the past 3 seasons but I am not seasoned enough or have seen any info that can help me out. Looking for some experience here thanks

Most dont seem to think that lower/higher temps swing the sexes in pythons. I believe it can play a role but thats only on my experience. After producing a large number of males last year vs females towards the end of my season I lowered temps from 89 to 85 and churned out more females. Now, thats only 2 clutches and not a mass study to provide a large portion of information to uphold my situation as truth. Ran the same temps this year and my first clutch threw 6.1 which throws a damper on things as you know. I am currently running temps between 86-87 now and we'll see.
 
I understand thank you for your input. I will be trying to look at it as well. I am running 87 right now. so time will tell
 
I run my incubator at 88.7 each year. I have had a good mix of both sexes at this temp.
