Granted, I have been incubating quite cool (78-80 degrees) so I'm not concerned at this point; from what I understand low-temperature eggs can go up to 120 days.

i'd be interested to see what sex ratio you get from these ssthisto. i presume you have used this temp on purpose?

Eeerrrr.... not as such, no.

I will be too, especially since I WANT a couple of males out of this clutch...

The temperature I have is actually just because that's the temperature that was steady where I was incubating my eggs (at the back of a vivarium stack heated from the rear wall). It will be interesting to see if I get a significantly higher number of females to males, that's for sure... and if I'm any judge of tail proportions this first little one out of the egg LOOKS like a girl.

thats it, i do think you will get a higher ratio of females for sure.
