    Re: breeding question

    I haven't tried it, but a breeder friend of mine suggested that I leave the temps in my rack alone, and simply open a window a crack for the cooler ambient air. If your room temps are dropping more now than earlier in the season, you might be ok.

    Re: breeding question

    what's your method of measuring temps? if you have a system that recognizes temp drops and increases power to compensate and raise the heat, then you should be OK as long as you can monitor the temps.

    No need to change temps!

    Talking Re: breeding question

    I keep my ball pythons at the normal temps all year long and this includes breeding time.I have done this for two seasons and have had little ones both years.The only thing that changes is the climate outside.So far my male pastel has locked up with two females and it lasted for 2 or 3 days.Its really your choice if you want to cool them down or not.
