RE: Do you use diurnal temperature cycles (night drops)?

Thanks!
So essentially, it sounds like you use both seasonality and diurnal temperature cycles. I've bred Dumeril's and BCI and that's pretty much what happened for me, too. I was heating with lights and using a lower wattage during the night time so that there WAS a nightly drop. Then, like you're describing, the natural drop in house temps that happens during the winter caused a drop in the ambient and , therefore, the cage temps during the colder months. I'm making some changes in my caging set ups and rethinking some old ideas. I think I may keep the diurnal temp cycles and, like you're doing, go for a more dramatic seasonal change.
Thanks again for your response.
Anybody else got any input?
