To Brumate or not to Brumate?
Ok so hopefully this will be my first year at breeding some of my ball pythons. I have researched and found some do cool down their snakes and others dont and their snakes stil breed. So if you do cool down please post the temps you keep and for how long please. thank you.

I keep temps 80 cool side in winter and summer. No cycling of temps here ever.
What i do do, is put in COLD water in their water bowls. Which gives females developing something cool to wrap while still having warmth.

Re: To Brumate or not to Brumate?
Ball pythons do not brumate. I keep my temps normal during the day and drop the hot side temp by 6-8 degrees at night I also shorten the light cycle. I pretty much follow Ralph Davis' breeding method with a little tweaking to fit my needs. He has a great write up on his site of what he does.

Re: To Brumate or not to Brumate?
Well I meant cool down not brumate. I used brumate cause i heard some call refer to cooling them even though they do not actually brumate. So thank you for correcting me I will avoid using the term when refering to ball pythons and thank you for guiding me to Ralph Davis knowledge. I havent been on his site in a long time and never looked at his info on breeding.

This is my first year breeding my balls, but I never cool my corns and I've been breeding them for a few years now. I don't plan to cool my bps.
