Sex determination in Varanids?
Hi all, a bit of a 'History of captive Varanids' question....
Sorry if this is hugely outdated, but what happened to all the hype about Varanids having their sex determined socially? As in, if you raise a pair of juveniles up together, the dominant one always becomes the male and subordinate the female?
Does anybody know who started this rumour? I remember it seemed almost gospel around >10 years ago with ackies.
Obviously this would be pretty interesting considering the Varanids tested since then have decently differentiated sex chromosomes.
Cheers! And awesome forum by the way!
