Ya, that is interesting.
So am I right to think, to garner "true" sexually oriented dragons prolly raise the eggs between 80 and 92 degrees?
There's apparently some research done that shows these 'females' are actually genetic males with female organs....that there is some deformity involved and that they will produce infertile females...how true is this? I am not sure as it's only hearsay but would be good for breeders to reveal their own findings on this.
Naturally, there will be enterprising breeders who will take this opportunity to create more females for breeding purposes, and I understand females are sold at a higher price than males. food for thought.
Above 88 is said to cause incresed risk of egg failure and birth defects. I'd incubate at about 83-85. Also consider that a genetic male that lays eggs can never have genetic females.
