The temperature! If it is between 31.7degrees C (89 degrees F) and 33.5 degrees C (94 degrees F) it will be a male, but if the temperature is outside that narrow 2.8 degrees than it will be a female.

∙ 12y agoThe sex of crocodile hatchlings is determined by the average temperature during the middle third of their 3 months incubation period. If the temperature inside the nest is below 31.7 °C (89.1 °F), or above 34.5 °C (94.1 °F), the offspring will be female. Males can only be born if the temperature is within that narrow 5-degree range.

How does temperature affect nile crocodile?
Apart from determining what sex the crocodile will be, if the temperature is too cold this will cause the nile crocodile to go onto the river banks to soak up the sun's rays. If it is too hot, the nile crocodile will go into the rivers and lakes and in the shade :)
In what condition is crocodile sex formed?
The sex of developing crocodilians is determined by the incubation temperature of the eggs. This means crocodilians do not have genetic sex determination, but instead have a form of environmental sex determination which is based upon the temperature embryos are subjected to early in their development. Crocodile embryos do not have sex chromosomes, and unlike humans sex is not determined genetically. Sex is determined by temperature, with males produced at around 31.6 °C, and females produced at slightly lower and higher temperatures. The average incubation period is around 80 days, and also is dependent upon temperature.
