It sounds like youve done your homework and understand it pretty well. Heres what I do: I dont really do anything with temps, I might lower the hotspot a couple of degrees and let the ambient room temps drop as is natural in the winter time for me (but not necessary), I feed females a couple times a week and whenever they are acting hungry until they start to refuse, If they refuse for more than a couple weeks I stop offering, I also feed up my males very well before breeding season as well since most of them will go off feed and only worry about breeding, I will introduce a male to a female every 3 weeks for 3-4 days (if I witness a lock sooner I remove him when they unlock), I do this until I see her ovulate or she starts refusing males, then I wait for ovulation, once I witness an ovulation I put hot spot back to normal, on march 1st I put my heater on in my snake room and raise all hotspots back to normal, then I wait. Good luck, hope all goes wellAlso, I have large males that breed just fine, I think what he meant was that you dont want an obese male.
