Sexing baby Gators?

[rebel750]

I am well aware that incubation temps determine the sex of a hatchling gator. But if there were somebody who does not know the sex and recieved them in a trade, what is the earliest you could determine the sex of a baby?

BTW I am waiting on my new baby to arrive from a reputable breeder so I am sure they will be sending me the female I want. But I almost bought one from a guy who didnt have a clue and I figured I would look elsewhere for somebody who does it for a living.

PICS COMMING SOON! And I hope there is enough of you out there to get our own thread for Gator related topics.

Here's a good page with very good pics describing the process with both adults and juveniles: http://www.crocodilian.com/crocfaq/faq-8.html

Excellent link! I will pass it along to the guy that doesnt have any idea. Maybe he will find the need to find the sexes for himself.

As I said I am getting mine from an actual breeder so like my BP's Im sure they will deliver for me.

Thanks again.
