    does it matter what time a year to breed?
    I have an 08 female..i was going to breed when she was big enough. Probably will not be big enough untile nov./ dec. does it matter what time a year you breed your BP's.
    lastly, My set up is 80 degrees all the time. do I have to change up temp. or will breeding still take place. With all the reading I am doing, breeding BP's can be complicated as heck. However, I talked to a breeder who say its not.
    a simple step by step guide that is fairly simple?

    Yes because during breeding season (late oct to like feb.) Barometric pressure is different and that triggers them to breed. And 80 degrees? Is that the hot spot as well? Because if it is that is EXTREMELY low, hot spots are to be around 90-94 degrees

    But it is possible to get them to breed out of season, also i dnt think breeding is hard, i didnt lower temps, i put a male and female together hoped for the best, and now i have a clutch of 14 eggs that is do to hatch within the week and a gravid female that is due to lay anytime now

    They can breed anytime. Some people still have breeding going on right now. Yours will be ready just in time. And Brian Gundy had a bunch of random balls in a sack on his way back from a show and opened it up to find two randomly locking up. Lots of people do what reptidude said. It works. They're animals. They get horny, lol.

    You do not have a warm side and a cool side for the m to thermo-regulate?

    80 is what I shoot for on the cold side of the tub :confused:

    Reading, researching, studying so you have a clue what to do is the hard part.
    The easy part is breeding...

    As long as your parameters are where they need to be, balls can breed at any point during the year. Best results would come if you pair them up during winter to spring months, though.
