breeding temperatures please help

Ok I have read a lot about the ambient temps etc. I saw that day temps are around 82 and night are 76 to 75. My question is this..... What do you do with the uth. I have my snakes in racks. I have it set at 89. Does this stay constant through the winter months or does it drop? I would like info of people that have had success with this. Please explain. Do i keep it constant day and night at 89 or does it turn off at night? help me out please. This is something I am just not extremely sure about.

thanks

Are you asking about maternal incubation or just breeding season in general? I don't drop my temps for the season personally. The ambient temps in my reptile room come down a couple degrees naturally, but the thermostats stay set where they are year round...

I don't maternally incubate so I'm no help there.

not for maternal incubation. This is just to get them into the swing. I will incubate in an incubator. I am wanting to know schedules for cooling the room and providing a lower gradient etc.

Thank you

In that case, it's not necessary to drop temps for breeding season. Some do, some don't. I keep my thermostats set year-round and don't adjust. They know when it's time...

Some people drop temps, other people don't. Both methods work successfully.
I personally don't drop temps. I find it an unnecessary step that could result in RI and I would rather not take the risk.
My hotspots stay the same year round. The ambient temp drops naturally with the seasonal change.

can you give me temp examples of your room please? hot spot constant temp? whats the ambient temp day and night during the season change. etc thanks

Hotside: 90
Coldside: 80

Ambient Summer: 80
Ambient Winter: 70

Night and day temps are pretty similar since my house is well insulated. Maybe just a few degrees difference.

These were all my first season of 2012, bred 4 girls and got 3 clutches without over thinking any of the process. The snakes know what and when to do it:gj:
