So.... it's kind of like color blindness in humans? I wonder if these snakes have 'barr bodies', where one of the female's W chromosomes is inactive in each cell?
I had no idea there were any reptiles whose sex was chromosomally determined like it is in mammals and birds. Is it just colubrids or are there any other groups of snakes like that?
