I understand that the cool down period stimulates follicle growth. However is there anything else that can stimulate the process or help get them to develop follicles? And another question what if I was to cool down during the summer? I mean if the temps are right and the snakes are up to size does it make much of a differnce? I've got 2 females I'm trying to breed with a desert male. He's in an aquarium though, so it's kinda hard to cool him down. My females are in my rack so it's pretty easy to cool them down. Do male necessarily need to be cooled down? This is going to be my first season so I'm pretty excited and want to have a successful season.
