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?
