How important is the photoperiod for cycling?

Just wondering how important the photoperiod is. I keep my snakes in a spare bedroom and pretty much just turn on the lights when I'm in there. Just wondering if I should start keeping them on and off to create a photoperiod or if cooling is enough to get them going?

I think you should be fine, most of us breed in our bedrooms. Lots of people dont even cool. But if you want you can get the appliance timers for like 10 bucks, or get a high end herpstat that can control light aswell as heat.

Thanks for the reply! Anyone else ?

Most people that breed, dont even have lights on their snakes. They are nocturnal, so they do not "need" the light

My wife gets a period sometimes, Other then that I have no clue what the ? is...

:rofl: me too...... gotta love JAS!! :bow:

i go by adam 8balls breeding calendar apart from cycling the lights and it has worked out great for me.

Whats even harder to believe is that someone actually married JAS. LOL JK JAS. Fun stuff man.

Go to Home Depot and get a digital light switch, it replaces your normal light switch and you can program the lights to come on and off when you want. Cost is under $20

In my opinion, none at all.

These snakes are native to an area that is very near the equator. They are used to having a photoperiod of 12 hours light and 12 hours dark all year around.
