I'm not breeding any turtles or tortoises at the moment, but I had a thought that a quick internet search didn't turn up an answer to. If we incubate our eggs in a constant temperature and humidity environment, and reptile sex is dependent upon incubation temperature, how do breeders not turn out entire clutches of single sex turtles/tortoises? It seems that since a large number of breeders do this, even though the animals can't be sexed until they reach a few years or so the breeder should know the sex of every animal based on the conditions in which it was incubated.
What am I missing here?
