    Re: temp cycling question

    You can do it, but it's not going to help with growing her up. Depending what your temps are going to be, and in general since you'll have less heat for digestion, in theory you should slow her feeding schedule (and possibly prey size) ... maybe a big deal, maybe not.

    I try to pull all of my girls that aren't going to be bred out into different racks with constant temps so that I can feed them up while my breeders are on a slower feeding schedule. But of course that's not possible for everyone.

    Just what I do ... there are of course lots of ways to get r done ... hope this helps.

    Thanks. Yeah I just don't have anywhere else to put her. If she takes a little longer to "grow up" so be it. Just wanted to make sure she was safe.
