Discussion
- Males are assumed to differ from females by {p_Am} only
- Incubation time is ignorned; part of embryo development might occur while still inside the mother
Facts
- length-length: SVL = 0.805 * TL - 1.03 cm for females, SVL = 0.768 TL - 3.99 cm for males; SVL and weight were the same for males and females (Ref: Mori1987)
