Sperm retention and temperatures

[ChadOwens]

I think I have heared that sperm can be killed at higher temperatures. At what temperature will this happen?

What are the max hot side temps that are safe during breeding season and what temps do most of you keep your hot side at during breeding?

Thanks

I leave my hotside at about 90 I never lower the temps. The ambient air temps lower in the room due to change of season.

Do you get many slugs? Was listening to Marc Bailey's show on RR the other day and he said his temps are around 82 and that he rarely gets any slugs. From what I could gather, he thinks other people get so many slugs because their temps are too high and it kills sperm and makes females absorb their follicles.

Here's the link to the show. Marc Bailey on Reptile Radio I think it's in the 2nd half of the show.
