Correct me if I'm wrong, but for breeding don't you gradually drop the OVERALL temperature ranges and at the same time decrease the amount of day light hours while increasing the amount of darkness all to simulate the winter months? After which you reverse the process to simulate the coming of Spring, all of this to bring females into season?
Just trying to learn all I can folks, and make my Ramses as comfortable and healthy as possible.

Are you breeding? If not, then there is really no need to drop temps or simulate winter. This will cause many snakes to go off feed and it is not necessary. You say it is to try and simulate nature, but is being in an enclosure and having an appropriately sized prey dropped in front of you every week natural?
