Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

At 84 degrees the sex could go either way. It could be male or female.

Yeah at 84 there is a 50/50 chance on the sex and it should hatch between 37 and 60 days. Mine at 90 hatch at 37-40 days and at 82 they take right at 60-63. Ive never done any at 84 but it should be somewhere inbetween.

@ 84 you will not have 50/50 male/female ratio, please show me where you have proof on that. I know Alberto incubates some of his albino lines @ 86 and gets I beleive 25% males. I suggested to her that she set the incubator alittle above 82 as in my case my incubators ambient temp is 2 degrees warmer than the eggs are but I have temp gun and check the temps daily it may or may not be like that for her or others in either case @ 84 she will have mostly females.

Oh BTW I have personally incubated eggs @ 83-84 for 2 years now and can account for only 1-2 males hatching from those temps of over 120 hatched eggs.

Hmm, I'd have to agree with Xavier on this. I didn't notice any obvious sex ratio changes for males until I incubated at 86-88F. 90F sounds a bit too risky to me. At least at 88 if your incubator goes over by a degree or two you're still within safe limits.
There are lots of references out there for temperature sex determination, that is, if anybody likes to read scientific literature. For an easier read, I suggest going to the library and borrowing the book FireFly Encyclopedia of Reptiles and Amphibians by Halliday and Adler (2002). Pages 116-117 have an excellent description of temperature sex determination (TSD).

Well after 2 and a half weeks you can raise the temp to get a nicer looking female. Just my tid bit...
