    Re: do you drop temp for breeding or dont?
    From what I understand is that the temp drop is to get them in the mood by recreating their natural temp cycle in the wild. Good news is that I didn't drop and I have paired my male pastel x female spider, cinnamon male x pastel female, and yellow belly male x normal and have seen all three pairs locked up multiple times. So it's working for me so far

    honestly, i live in socal and my balls live outside in an entryway before my room.
    the temps are always up in the day and kewl at nite.

    latley they have dropped lower outdoors ( but their tanks drop only a bit but not in the danger zone)

    so technically i didnt intentionaly cool them.
    the weather did it for me and right now my male pastel and female normal
    are going at it like its going outta style.

    so no i didnt cool and i have successful lockups.
    but its also said that (im sure its true but IDK)
    that the cooling is mostly so the males sperm
    becomes well becomes good sperm.

    like in humans,

    our testicles need to be kept cool which is why they are outside our bodies
    instead of inside, to better keep them and the developing sperm healthy and production high.

    you get it? hope i wasn't to gross.
    but its nature.

    so i was told to cool the male and keep the female warm, just not to warm.
    because the cold is like a natural stimulant that the time for love is in the near you know?

    I never touch the hot spot temp. My Snakes live in the garage so they get the season change (temp Drops) from the weather changes. Kind of a natural cycle.

    We're going without dropping temps this year. There will be some natural variation in the cool side temps due to household temps as the season changes.
