    Re: That time of year again.

    I'm going to admit right off that my knowledge of breeding is minimal at best. That said...

    If breeding season is determined in large part by temperature, why don't people artificially create the conditions to have breeding going on at all times of year? Granted, it might be more expensive to run air conditioning in the summer to keep things cool, but having different animals breeding at different times in the year would reduce the amount of equipment needed (primarily incubators, I'm thinking) and would allow that equipment to be used throughout the year, rather than at one time of year, and sitting idle for the rest. Lighting is also easily controlled, if that has an effect (shorter days + cooler temps).

    I don't know much about the work involved in keeping eggs happy until hatching, and then working with hatchlings, but I assume it's more work than maintaining older animals...so spreading the work out across the year would reduce the crazy times and make it all manageable. Although I can see how going to shows would interfere by taking you away from the breeding work, and if you always have a smaller supply of hatchlings year round, as opposed to a loaded inventory at the "normal" time. But I would think having hatchlings available when everyone else is sold out would work in your favor.

    I see it like greenhouses that are heated and lighted to allow warm-season flowers to be available in the winter.

    Am I missing something?

    Ok, good to know that's what I'm missing! Seemed strange that something so simple wasn't being done.
