    Re: Lowering Heat for Breeding

    I don't adjust temps either. My cages naturally drop a few degrees at night year-round (since their lights go off). The only thing I adjust is light cycle (from 12 hours of light to 10 hours of light). Though I think baromic pressure (the periodic high-pressure, low-pressure) changes of the season are what triggers most breeding and subsequent egg-laying come spring for the most part. I know several breeders who use racks and have no light cycles at all, so obviously they can't change them, but everything goes according to schedule, and their girls lay anyway.

    You're definitely going to get differing responses to this question, as every breeder has their own preferred methods that work for them.
