    Cooling? help me out guys

    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?
    The Matrix is a system, Neo. That system is our enemy. But when you're inside, you look around, what do you see? Businessmen, teachers, lawyers, carpenters. The very minds of the people we are trying to save. But until we do, these people are still a part of that system and that makes them our enemy. You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inured, so hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will fight to protect it.

    Re: Cooling? help me out guys

    actually thats the page i was reading that inspired this thread cause ive read it many times, quoting it "In October we lower our temps at night. The hot spot goes down to 82 F and the cool end is 72 F" so it's only a night drop i get that part but do you lower it to same the temps every night until its time to warm up? id imagine you'd gradullay lower the temps like a degree or too every week and same for warming up... or am i just plain wrong someone plz clear this up, thx
