Lots of people do night drops, lots of people don't. The main thing we are trying to tell you is not so much "Don't do this!" but more, "This isn't necessary in order to successfully breed." It is mainly a matter of experience and preference, as well as being prepared for what can go wrong, as well as right. Being a little too loose with night drops can easily result in an RI, especially in a very cold and/or damp climate.

I have an import female myself, three seasons I've had no luck getting her to lay. She locks, but doesn't really build or anything else. So this time around, I'm going to bite the bullet and try night drops with her. The trick will be, she's in a rack with 5 other girls who don't need the night drop. So it's going to take some planning on my part.

And try Barry White. That always works for me. ;)

yeah i think im still going to do night drops, just got my herpstat 1 in the mail today cant wait to get home and set it up lol. i will monitor the temps closely and only do a very mild night drop. maybe 82 day 77 night for ambient ill use an hour or 2 of ramping to avoid sudden temp changes ... ill have to figure out what t-stat settings get me those results.

I drop my temps but like others say it is really not a requirement. I have always dropped temps and have been pretty successful so I do not see any reason to change. I think it is all dependent on where you live. I am in Florida and most folks in the state drop temps due to the warmer climate. Breeders in colder climates seem to not drop temps as much and have success breeding as well. It is really what works for you and only you can determine what that is.
