Exactly, its not the night drop that triggers breeding, its just the CHANGE. When I heard Dave Barker talk about ball breeding he said that really any kind of environment change can trigger a breeding response. If I remember correctly he even said removing or adding a hide can trigger it.

Thanks everyone for the input that clears things up. i guess ill go out and by a night bulb for the enclosure, keep things easier :)
