chance of landing a pair

[leopard777]

what are the probability of landing a pair of male and female from the same batch ? possible ?

Anything is possible

It has been my experience that one clutch holds all the same sex. I suppose if the temperature is in the median area it would be possible, but that's not my experience.

All things considered I think it would average out to 50/50. If you knew the species and incubation temps, it might sway those guesstimated odds a bit.

I incubate on the high side of the temperature range and I still get a few males along with the mostly females. There have been mixed sexes in every group of clutchmates I've bought.

No info on the temp range, hmmm I must resist the temptation to get another, female and male grows to the same size?

...female and male grows to the same size?

Not in most species. In some species, like sulcata, the males get larger. In other species, like russians, the females get larger.

Got to agree with Tom, almost everything I've read on reptiles suggests that usually the female will grow larger... evolutionary advantage I guess?
