    Re: Do you cool your breeders?

    I dont think you need to lower your temps at all. Here at my house my parents are really nonchalant about the heat. Since its texas it will be in the 75-80 degree range in the summer and right now its about 68-75 in the house so when I do start to breed i dont think I will drop the temps.

    Re: Do you cool your breeders?

    i dont cool at all! i dont touch a thing temprature wise, i think alot of breeding has to do with humidity, barometeric pressure, and males! ive do my breedings this way for 3 years now and have snake that feed straight through breeding and less chances of Ri. this year were on pace for 40 clutches so i think is working.

    Re: Do you cool your breeders?

    I cool my room down to around 76 degrees slowly and the hot spot a degree or 2 tops. I don't do a night drop, the temps stay at 76, less chance of a R.I. with a constant temp. Plus this works for me.

    Yes. For some species (crested geckos) it's more dramatic, for others (warm weather pythons), maybe just a couple degrees.
