hatchling sex ratio

csiviper Jul 19, 2005 05:38 PM

is it unusuall to have a clutch of eggs turn out to be all of one sex. i thought that there would at least be one of the opposite sex in the litter. does incubator temp play any role in the determining of sex during development. i gladly welcome any info

I've done it......all male or all female.......

no temp doesn't matter.....

make sure you are sexing them correctly...that has alot to do with it at times.......

.......some people pop the females so haed that the scent glands pop out and they think they are penes.....
