sexratio A. bahorucoensis

[coldblood]

Hi,

At the moment I have 12 bahorucoensis juveniles, but for some reason most of them (10 out of 12) are males. Is the gender development in this species temperature determined or is there an other explanation for this phenomenon?

I don`t use an incubator, I incubate the eggs in a cricket-box filled with moderately moist cocospeat at room temperature. The average temperature is 25 degrees at daytime and 20 degrees at night.

Hi Rob,

die Zeitigungstemperaturen sind zu hoch.

Ich würd am Tage maximum 23-24 C° sagen. Nachts kanns um 18 C° liegen.

Ist alles nah an der Grenze....

siehe auch den Artikel von Axel Fläschendräger in der herpetofauna 12 ( 64 ), Februar 1990.
