13 baby southern hogs from the wildcaught female in the below post,all have great color,the lousy photo doesn't show they're color well. Half the clutch is buried in the pic. They headed straight under the moss as soon as I put them in this container. I incubated them at a constant 77 degrees to see if I would get a higher female ratio and I've counted at least 8 females so far,so maybe it worked. Kevin Fisher

Wow, that's great! How can you tell males from females as hatchlings?

Thanks,the females really have much shorter tinier tails than the males. Kevin

I'm guessing 77F is slightly lower than what most clutches are normally incubated at. I wonder if the same would work for W. Hog eggs.
