I'm trying to figure out the males from the females but I think it's still too soon. I think I can call out a few of them based on their sizes and personalities. The males of course are usually much more aggressive and assert themselves while the females I think stick closer to Mama. I just hope there's a good balance between the sexes. I think having 15+ Drakes out there would turn into a nightmare lol.
Only been in the winter, and remember baking in the hot over 100F temp!
Even at 2am the heat index is still in the high 80s! I think about them hoping they're keeping cool somewhere overnight. The poor little things only hatched in summer and are probably thinking "What kind of a scorched world is this?!" lol. They're going to feel much better come November when it cools down---as will I.
When I was growing up there was no air conditioning unless you were rich, schools had big fans to keep you from literally melting.Even at 2am the heat index is still in the high 80s!

I was thinking the same thing before I read your post.
I wonder if growing so quickly is nature's way of protecting them from predators? They do seem to be sprouting up like mushrooms!
