Her name's Dante... more of a boys name, but that's what i thought she was at first. Until the breeder informed me that the temp at which the eggs were incubated developed females. So that's not a 100% for sure, but i'll take her word for it

I don't think incubation temperatures determine sex in beardies like they do with some other reptiles. Clutches incubated at the same temp produce both males and females all the time.

The best way to tell the sex is to wait until they are a few months old and then just look for yourself and make an educated guess.

Here is a good link to teach you how to do that.

I don't want to come down on your breeder personally. I don't know them or why they believe and say what they say.

But I have met breeders who didn't really know what they were talking about. When I got my baby vieled chameleon the breeder told me that it could live in a 20 gallon glass tank with a screen top, and that it would drink water from an ice cube melted through the screen. Thank goodness I had the sense to do my own research, and my chameleon lived a long and healthy life (by chameleon standards.)
