That is a very good summation of the facts of this matter. The only point I would reiterate is that temperature sex determination (TSD) DOES work very well in all the Star Tortoises, BUT the buyer must assume that the seller has good incubators which he checks frequently to see that they actually maintain the correct temperatures, AND is honest.
