Temperature-Dependent Sex Determination

Is the sex of any of the types of chameleons determined by the incubation temperature of the egg?

I found a study that showed Veiled chameleon eggs, Chamaeleo calyptratus, did not show any TPD.
 
It doesn't seem like it, at least not within any of the commonly kept and bred chameleon species. People have incubated at anywhere between 68 and 85F and not recorded any significant ratio difference in males to females, that I am aware of. Especially within panther chameleons, the ability to produce mainly male clutches would be a huge thing, financially.
