This upcoming season will be my first breeding ball pythons. (or breeding any snakes, really) All of my snakes are in racks, so dropping temps in the tubs should not be too hard. One of my questions was...Is cooling necessary? Are there benefits to doing it? Not doing it? Has anyone successfully bred ball pythons without cooling?

Also, I have a mini fridge I'm going to make an incubator out of. If I get a picture of it, is there anyway anyone can tell me how to turn it into an incubator. Currently it is still being used as a fridge, but I hope to have it turned into an incubator by December.
