It's been a while since I've been on this forum, but my cresteds are getting close to breeding size, so I have a question about incubation temperatures.I know that temp sex determination isn't proven, but has anyone noticed that they get more of one gender at a specific temp.? Please post what temp you incubate at and how many you get of each gender.I realy appriciate it. All the research that I've done just says that TSD is not proven in cresteds, but tht's not going to change unless someone tries it out.Also I've heard that some breeders tend to get slightly more females with lower temps, but please let me know what your experience with this is.
thanks,
T-spoon

Hi T-spoon,
It is surprising but I don't think there has been much in the crested world to scientifically prove, or disprove, that one can determine the sex of the hatchling by modifying the incubation temperatures.
It would make a nice study though.
