I try to reproduce daily changes in temperature as would be found in a more equatorial region of the world. I also used timers and artificial lighting to try to keep closer to a 12/12 photo period.

I agree 100% Bill ... photoperiods are incredibly valuable when breeding ball pythons and I outline the exact day/night times I use throughout the year in my breeding calander. Last year, even though I did not cool males the room in my facility that I keep my males in was given the same light cycle that I've been using for breeding since the beginning!
