You can’t temp sex beardies like other reptiles, you will always get a mix. That being said I feel that lower temps give a higher percentage of females (around 80 degrees) but they do take longer to hatch and you better have a very good incubator (not a hovabator) and thermostat if you’re going to try this because if it fluctuats at all you’ll lose the whole clutch. I highly recomend 83.5 for most anybody. You’ll basically get a 50/50 mix that will hatch in about 60 days and it’s a much safer temp.

You can if you’re going to incubate normally. If you are going to try to run special temps the hovabator fluctuates way too much (+- 3 degrees usually).
