Incubating for males - what temperatures

Katrina Mar 06, 2006 10:15 AM

If one wanted to incubate red-eared slider eggs to produce all, or mostly, males, what would be the incubation temperatures?

I'm not incubating anything myself, but was thinking that for vendors, being able to advertise that your sliders are incubated for males, which stay smaller and are thus a better "consumer draw", would be a good selling point.

It has been said that the temperature around 75F degrees yields mostly males and around 85F degrees mostly females
