Ron,There has only been one TDS study that only used seven subjects backed up with gonad inspection.I am using the same temps but would have to wait around 3-4 yrs to be sure.Its not ectched in stone yet.For example the first year I thought I made males because their tails were longer than they had been in the past.I was sure of it!Before the years end it became apparent that I had females with longer tails than what I thought was normal,but they were in fact females.As it stands now the Atlanta Zoo study was 83f males,above that females.Cool dudes hot chicks.I think i'm getting some females in my 83F group.84F will make both ,high on females.Next year I'll try 81F.One thing I've learned is the lower you go the lower the percentage of hatching.Vic
