TSD - incubation to determine gender

JustinM. Dec 21, 2007 04:02 PM

I have a very basic question concerning crocodilians and Chelonia.

What temperatures produce all males, all females and 50/50 split?

Thank you for your input!

There is no simple answer to your question. It will vary depending on species.

There was a great article on this in Reptiles Magazine a while back. Perhaps in the last year even. It discussed the different scenerios there are with different species. Perhaps contact someone on their staff to see if they can find it for you. I'm sure the editor (Russ Case) would remember it.
