What are the pros and cons of manulateing temp to determine sex of hatchlings ? Some say it can cause split scutes. Are there other consequences and does this warrant the practice ?
egyptiandan said:The consequences are you get more of one sex than the other. I don't see that you can stop it unless you don't incubate. If you incubate eggs you are practising sex determination of your hatchlings, whether you want to or not.
Now if you mean should people hatch at higher temperatures to get more females and is that detrimental to the hatchling. Than yes that is another story.
