Cooling is a optional step in conditioning your pythons for breeding. If you do it, fine. The normal duration is from early October thru February or March. And the cycle is usually set for the nightime temps being the cool time and a return to normal temps for daytime. Personally I don't cool bc of the risks of health issues for some reptiles. Especially RI. (Respiratory illness or infection). Some breeders swear by it and others dont. Like Pit said it's not required.
