No, I don't believe they do. I've been watching this for years pondering why the higher incident rate of premature births. It's often complicated with random other prematurities for unknown or unexplained reasons...but after awhile the trend towards a certain flaw becomes evident. I'm not willing to go poking temperature probes inside of gravid females nor am I willing to gut a gravid female and quickly temp probe developing embryos so I really can't offer proof, just observations.
I think some of the other premature births has to do with their breeding habits. They will breed some times for over a month and each copulation has the potential of fertalizing eggs though as time goes on, the chances become lesser for anything to be left to fertalize so the earlier breeding(s) will be the more likely to succeed but now and then an egg gets left out and possibly gets fertilized late and ends up a premmie. I can't mathmatically even ponder the odds that albino offspring from a het x het or het x homo pairing will statistically occur more often in the later breedings of a given breeding cycle. There's no reason to believe such a thing so that can't explain their higher rate of stills and premature births. Heat absorbtion absoltely can though.
