I don't know if you received my e-mail, so I will
post the information here. I've produced a couple hundred Coleonyx
variegatus variegatus and Coleonyx variegatus bogerti over a
13 year period and found that they are GSD. This supports the findings of
Viets and others. Goniurosaurus seem to be TSD, but not Pattern
II. You will not find any individuals that have produced many
Holodactylus, so you might not be able to get the needed
information.

Subject: [gecko]sex determination in
Eublepharine geckos
I know this general subject has been discussed in the list
serve before,
but i haven't seen these particular questions.
All you
folks that eublepharine geckos--can you tell me which ones have
genetic and
which ones have temperature sex deterimination?
Year ago i bred Coleonyx
variagatus and so I know they do not have TSD.
i seem to recall someone
was breeding C. brevis at the time, and they
were GSD too, but i'm not
sure. since then it is clear lots more people
have been breeding lots
more of these geckos.
Of course Eublepharus and Hemitheconyx are both
TSD, at least all the
species I know of.
what about the other
Coleonyx?
what about Goniurosaurus?
what about
Holodactylus?
and for those of you who answer--no insult
intended, but how confident
are you of your
answers?
