Eeeeeeee im excited to see 'her'! are split scutes prone to females then?

Knew you would

Ok, ok, ok. I'll say it now.

I was wrong and you all were right....

Tomorrow I will be picking up a new leopard Hatchling
Hey, I needed to raise another one smooth with the hot and humid method since I've been doing presentations on it. I need another living example

I'll introduce "her"when I get her. Getting split scutes in hopes for a female.

That's funny! We're full of excuses! Good luck!

Oops I meant Wednesday...so i have one more day.

Females hatch with higher incubation temperatures. Higher incubation temps also produce split scutes. The baby from this clutch was incubated with higher temps.

I have a split scute female RES but Tom has a split scute male leopard. He called "her" big mama thinking it was female until HE flashed his goods lol. So it is far from a guarantee but you still have better odds.

Great thread!
Glad the two smaller torts have fallen into your hands; can't wait to see pics of them in a year.
