Hi,

its defintiely true, that male hatchlings do have longer tails, even though in my animals that difference was less pronounced.
I was always assuming that Gonocephalus and Acanthosaura sex is influenced by TDSD with more females at low temps, more males at higher temps and like 100% females if you keep eggs at 29 ° between week 3 ad 5 (if kept constantly at 29° for the full incubation time, hatching rates are very low)
But my statistics are not copious enough to be sure and since some time I am (almost) out of these lizards.

Ci@o

Ingo
