Re: Sex Ratios -- OOPS!
Hello David,
I've 12 spoorenbergi 3 weeks old and I've kept then at 75 degrees...
Does this mean I'll have only females?
I'm going to raise now the temperature to 78 F!
Am I too late? Do you have any information about the exact moment when the
temperature affects the sex ratio? Perhaps soon after the birth?
Best regards,
Miguel
