i did a 30 research paper on his group's work (and others) surrounding temperature incubation on geckos/other herps and its effects early last year.

i don't want to state any of his conclusions (dont want to start any type of war), but anyone can find and read his papers at any university library. needless to say, i'll stick with my own personal opinion of not messing with incubation temperatures. Happy holidays to everyone!

Yeah, I got all his (Crews) papers on file, some great information and his lab is just an hour from my place, interesting guy to say the least!!! I second not messing with incubation temps in regards to information I got from Crews studies as well as my success using the Tremper incubation metheod last year. No need to start a debate I can't win, so I'll stop there.

P.S. You should get an envelope from me around New Years Jon!!! As always, thanks again.

When you say success using Tremper's method, are you being sarcastic? Just wondering, as you say you stick to not messing with inc. temps and I think Tremper's method does mess with Inc. temps.

Yeah, I was being sarcastic because I did not have good success with the Tremper incubation metheod last year. I keep forgetting that is is impossible to hear the tone of someones voice via written words. Ohhh, I think I need to get some more sleep. Thanks for bringing this to my attention.
