ive been doing quite a bit of research on breeding ball pythons because i hope to breed my pair of ghosts next year, and ive hit just one fork in the road. Which is cooling, i gotta good understanding of it just the minor details i need help with. im wondering do you guys gradually lower temps at night (day by day or week by week)till u get to the point you can't go any lower and its time to warm up? or just lower the hot spot and the cool spot a couple degrees until its time to warm up the temps back to normal? ive also heard cooling isnt necassary, does that mean if you introduce a male to a female there's a chance they'll copulate?
