    I did for the first two years, but this year I didn't, and my results were as good or better...so why stress the animals by dropping temps, when it's clearly unnecessary? I believe that the light cycle alone is enough to trigger breeding. The spikes in humidity and barometric pressure changes that come with autumn and spring storms also seem to play a role.
