California breeders..

I was wondering when those breeding in Cali plan on cooling thier snakes(if they plan on it). I'm just curious. I've talked to a few bigger guys in Cali and they are talking about holding off a bit due to late breeding this last season. I myself will start cooling probably mid next month. Post your vote and reasoning please.

I start on my Birthday. October 29th.

Happy Birthday to me!

Ill probably be starting in November.

That's how they say it usually happens. Good luck on that!

I don't cool -- but rather keep the room temps within the target range. I have gone to year-round breeding -- just had 2 ovulations and six egg clutch today. :)

My birthday's on October 20th, so I was thinking about making that my official "start date" - but since my only pair is already looking ready (esp the girl), I'll probably introduce them in a few days! Happy early birthday to us, LOL. ;)

This will be my very first breeding attempt, so I can't say what has worked in the past. Seeing as our temperature here in SF is constant/mild year-round, I figure the month doesn't matter anyway. :confuzd: I also don't plan to cool, mostly because I'm limited to one rack for ALL the snakes... including the young'uns who aren't breeding yet.

Im waiting til mid november, im excited and im bulking up all my females now =D
