Temperature determine sex
Hello,
Scientists has proved the incubation temperature determine the sex of tortoises. How about the period of incubation temperature that determine it ? The sex should be confirmed at certain stage of incubation. Is it the initial period of incubation ? or the middle stage ? Just curious to know Thx, Ben |
