sex and temp

I was reading an article online a month ago about incubation .
The author talked about the temp of the incubator can determine the sex of some reptiles. I didn’t think about it at the time but now I can’t find the article and I don’t think that it told what kinds of reptiles.
Have any of you read or heard about this, if so which reptiles dose it apply to.

Leopard geckos, Agamas for sure also. I think I've heard that Veiled Chameleons are as well. Here's a link that explains "temperature dependent sex determination" or TSD (why they leave the 'd' out is beyond me). There are a bunch of site dedicated to studying this phenomenon.

Enjoy!
