I've got some 5-6 week old hatchlings. They were incubated around 82-84 degrees so it should be a little mix sex ratio.

I believe they are females but I was just wondering when is the earliest you can sex leos and be 100% positive..

I always thought it was 12 weeks but I was never successful at it. I don't think a microscope would have helped :lol:

There was an interesting thread about sexing them at birth with a maglight. I would be curious to see if it turns out to be 100%. Seems logical since I have been sexing snow corns that way for the past few years...

Thanks for posting that link JChandler. Thats is some really good useful information. Sexing leos with a flashlight is something I would have never thought of.
