I do change my temps a little during breeding season. I lower the hot spot by about 8-10°, and the ambient temps are lowered just a tiny bit. I do this slowly and gradually over the period of 4 weeks. Ive never had one of my snakes get an RI. I follow the advice of another breeder, whereas a cooler temp stimulates the female to produce follicles, and increases the fertility of the male's sperm. Last year, we did it my husband's way, and did not cool down any of our animals. ....not a single egg was laid. This year, we're doing it my way....and so far weve had tons o locks and a female ovulate already...
